Les petites couleurs (A Little Color, 2002)
Director: Patricia Plattner 
(94m/Color/French)
Christelle, a hairdresser whose husband beats her, runs away after a violent 
quarrel. She ends up in a dilapidated motel called the Galaxy, frequented by 
truck  drivers  and  travelling  salesmen.  Mona,  the  owner,  a  loveable  and 
bubbly widow, takes Christelle under her wing and helps her to rekindle an 
interest in life. They both become passionately devoted to a TV soap opera, 
The Ranch of Love. Christelle has to deal with the return of her husband. But 
thanks to Mona and this new environment she discovers her creative talents. 
She meets new people, and experiences new sensuality, desire and love in 
the  arms  of  Lucien,  a  young  truck  driver.  Torn  between  a  longing  for 
independence  and  her  new  amorous  commitments  she  becomes  a 
peripatetic hairdresser roaming the countryside… until the day when Mona, 
Lucien and the last episode of her favourite TV serial open up unexpected 
new horizons
13 October 2011: 7:00 PM
Mein Name ist Eugen (Rascals on the Road, 2005)
Director: Michael Steiner 
(100m/Color/Swiss German)
From the literary classic by Klaus Schädelin, Mein Name ist Eugen is a coming 
of age story set in the 1960s, and tells of 12-year-old Eugen and Wrigley's last 
summer of adventure. When Wrigley's parents announce their intention to 
pack him off  to boarding school,  the boys  run away, hoping  to  find Fritzli 
Bühler, the "King of Rascals" in Zurich. But then Eugen and Wrigley bump into 
their Scouts group on the train and feel forced to join them to Ticino. From 
there  they escape again and attempt  to get back  to Zurich, but  the boys' 
disappearance is noticed and  their parents get on  their  trail. As  the boys 
continue  their  precarious  journey  over  their  Alps,  they  begin  to  doubt 
whether Fritzli Bühler really lives in Zurich and whether he actually exists 
at all.
14 October 2011: 7:00 PM
Vitus (2006)
Director: Fredi Murer
(120m/Color/Swiss German)
Vitus is a boy who almost seems to be from another planet: He has hearing 
powers of a bat, he plays piano like a virtuoso and studies encyclopedias at 
the age of five. No wonder his parents begin to anticipate a brilliant future for 
him. They want Vitus to become a pianist. However, the little genius prefers 
to play in his eccentric grandfather's workshop. He dreams of flying and of a 
normal childhood. Ultimately, with one dramatic leap, Vitus takes control of 
his own life…
15 October 2011: 7:00 PM
Mon frère se marie (My Brother's Wedding, 2006)
Directors: Jean-Stéphane Bron, 
(95m/Color/French)
Vinh, a Vietnamese refugee, was adopted 20 years earlier by a Swiss family 
and  is  now  about  to  get  married.  His  Vietnamese  mother  seizes  this 
opportunity to finally meet the family that loved and raised her son, and to 
meet the people who write her postcards every Christmas telling her that the 
whole family is united and thinking of her. But things are not quite going the 
way these messages imply and the unexpected visit of Mrs Nguyen is going to 
cause some agitation in the family. They are now going to have to act out the 
forgotten roles of father, wife, brother and sister… to play the fragile comedy 
of happiness.

complex social and political discourses  through his unique blend of 
folk  wisdom,  symbolism  and subversion of traditional  power 
structures of land ownership, represe- ntation and sexuality.
Dr.  Kambara's  native  "Shivapura"  is,  simultaneously,  a  real  and 
mythical place and ground for such negotiation.
Dr  Kambara's  very  success and  recognition are  in  testimony  to  the 
possibilities, complexity and depth of the folk narrative. The Jnanpith 
Award to Dr Kambara, the 8th  for the Kannada language, is a tribute to 
the range and imagination of the literature of Karnataka. Many of Dr 
Kambara's works have been adapted for cinema, some of which he has 
directed - Karimayi, Sangeeta and Kadu Kudure.

STEALING BEAUTY* (1996)
Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
(118m/Color/Italy)
Filip buys an 8-mm movie camera when his first child is born. Because it's the 
first camera in  town, he's named official photographer by  the local Party 
boss. His horizons widen when he is sent to regional film festivals with his first 
works  but  his  focus  on  movie  making  also  leads  to  domestic  strife  and 
philosophical dilemmas. (IMDb)
It's  1982:  Poland  is  under  martial  law,  and  Solidarity  is  banned.  Ulla,  a 
translator  working  on  Orwell,  suddenly  loses  her  husband,  Antek,  an 
attorney. She is possessed by her grief, and Antek continues to appear to her. 
She seeks to free herself in her work, in her relationship with her son, in sex, 
and in hypnosis. In a subplot, Ulla refers the wife of one of her husband's 
clients Darek, a jailed Solidarity strike organizer to Labrador, a world-weary, 
aging attorney, who works to free Darek by various political manipulations 
and psychological ploys. (IMDb)

WikiLeaks has become world famous in record time after having made the 
biggest  disclosure  of  classified  information  in  history.  There  has  been  a 
dramatic increase in the amount of information available to the world about 
everything from torture in the war in Iraq to the shady business dealings of 
Icelandic bankers. 
But few know anything about what drives WikiLeaks or about its mysterious 
founder Julian Assange, declared a hero by some and accused of everything 
from espionage to rape by others. Who are the people behind WikiLeaks and 
how did they get where they are today? 
**a discussion will follow after the movie

WIKIREBELS: THE DOCUMENTARY
Directors: Jesper Huor, 
Bosse Lindquist (58m/2010/Sweden)
The film shares special moments that the filmmaker experienced with his 
camera,  a  special  bonding  over  a  period  of  4  years,  in  terms  of  creating 
cinematic imagery, relating, exploring, seeking and interpreting notions of 
his reality.  It is a memory of a camera which perished in the Tsunami, along 
with  its  last  filmed  footage.  It's  last  recorded  footage,  an  elusive  image, 
evoking  multiple  possibilities,  seeking  parallels  and  new  perspectives.

(61m/1979/India)
The  Marichjhanpi  incident  is  one  of  the  darkest  episodes  of  CPI(M)  led 
government of West Bengal. The refugees who were roped by the CPI(M) 
were betrayed after the elections. The settlement established by refugees in 
the Marichjhanpi island of Sunderban was dealt with iron fists by the West 
Bengal  govt  who  deemed  it'  illegal'.  Subsequently  they  were  brutally 
evicted by  the police and hired mercenaries who butchered  the  resisting 
people, raped the women and burnt down entire settlements. (canvaspix. 
On the morning of April 30, 1982, a nun and 16 Ananda Marga monks were 
dragged out of taxis by cadres of CPI(M) the rulng party of West Bengal in 
Kolkata's  southern  suburbs.  They  were  beaten  and  then  set  on  fire.  The 
killings were witnessed by thousands of people. However, not a single arrest 
has been made till date. (canvaspix.wordpress.com)

OTHELLO
Othello has been dated to between mid-1601 and mid-1602. One important 
source for Othello was Philemon Holland's translation of Pliny's, Historie of 
the World, published in 1601. There are several echoes of Othello in the first 
quarto of Hamlet, published in 1603. These suggest that Othello must have 
been written by early 1603, and probably before July 1602 when Hamlet was 
entered on the Stationers' Register.   (www.bl.uk)
