Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Directed by David Lean Sunday - January 13 - 3:00 p.m. Monday - January 14 - 7:00 p.m. Help the IU Cinema celebrate its Second Anniversary by revisiting the digital restoration of its opening film. In an age of small screens, seeing Lawrence of Arabia onscreen with full overture and intermission is a bonafide cinematic adventure. Arguably one of the best films ever made, Lean’s epic story depicts the life of T.E. Lawrence, the controversial and romanticized British officer who led an Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. The Arabian Desert, captured in Super Panavision 70, provides a majestic backdrop for Lawrence’s larger- than-life exploits. The film was nominated for 10 Academy Awards®, winning seven. (2K DCP. 227 min. Rated PG.) Screenings are $3. The Man in the White Suit (1951) Directed by Alexander Mackendrick Thursday - February 14 - 7:00 p.m. Ealing Studios in West London produced some of cinema’s best written comedies between 1947 and 1957. The Man in the White Suit is no exception, nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Screenplay. Directed by Alexander Mackendrick (The Sweet Smell of Success), the story follows a young chemist from Cambridge (Alec Guinness) who works odd jobs to get by. In his free time, he develops his own creation - a fabric that never wears out or gets dirty. Working against trade unions, countless failed experiments, and a wealthy mill owner (whose daughter he falls for), he is determined to succeed. The film is considered a landmark of British Cinema and Rialto Pictures’ digital restoration is nothing short of pristine. (2K DCP. 85 min. Not Rated.) 4 4 Essential Digital Restorations Tickets: (812) 855-1103
