Welcome back to the Indiana University Cinema. We are excited to present
our Fall 2012 program. As you thumb through these pages, we think that
you will find that we outdid ourselves this semester. Along with numerous
partnerships and some fascinating film series, we will be presenting some
of the best films and filmmakers from the last few decades of arthouse
cinema. We are honored to host such luminaries as Werner Herzog, Claire
Denis, Walter Salles, Crispin Glover and Todd Solondz.
We are also focusing more attention on new American cinema. You will have
the chance to meet a number of new filmmakers, as well as established
and prolific young voices. Join us to explore the work of Joe Swanberg, Amy
Seimetz, Alison Klayman, Brian Crano, Susan Seizer, Catherine Murphy,
and others. Their films have been traveling the festival circuit so we are
bringing them, and the festival experience, to you.
You will also notice that we are `embracing' our digital technology, with a
series of essential (digital) restorations. We have prided ourselves since the
opening of the Cinema with presenting to our audiences the best formats
of films available. This DCP (Digital Cinema Package) series embraces the
format. We hope that you join us to see these undisputed masterpieces
on screen. We have also been given the privilege of premiering (yes, World
Premiering) a number of new DCP releases of international films. These are
noted inside.
We're confident that you will find something within these pages that will
entice you to visit the Cinema. If you are new to us, we look forward to
meeting you and are confident that once you have experienced the Indiana
University Cinema, you will surely return with friends.
Thanks for your support,
Jon Vickers, Director
