Joe R. Struble presents: Snapshot… In 1860, the eminent British scientist Sir John Herschel adapted a hunting term for "shooting from the hip without taking careful aim" to the possibility of someday being able to take a photograph in 1/10 of a second. More than 100 years later, the photographer Steven Halpern wrote, "The family albums of my great-grandparents are filled with serious and severe people looking as if they were bringing their souls to judgement. The snapshots in the albums of my parents show Mom and Dad throwing snowballs at each other in the storm of 1947."

An epic 35mm Cinemascope metaphysical travelogue that reveals a supernal world which pulses and flickers with formal patterns and deep hues.

In this parable, Willie Loman meets Monsanto. Henry Whipple (Dennis Quaid) is a flawed Iowa corn farmer and a sales rep for a GMO seed company, under pressure both to expand his territory and to increase his harvest—"Go big or die." Bahrani (Man Push Cart) addresses timeless themes: fathers and sons, ambition and rebellion, solidarity and self-interest, morality and survival, and, ultimately, the death of dreams. The film is an unsettling and introspective take on the influence of economic and social forces on an American everyman.

The Dryden will screen Night of the Iguana (John Huston, U.S. 1964, 118 min., 35mm).
Richard Burton is at his frantic best as the Reverend Larry Shannon, on a long sabbatical following a scathing tirade aimed at the repressive orthodoxy of his congregation. The self-titled "Minister of the Gospels," now a tour guide scandalized by his flock of Baptist schoolteachers, seeks sanctuary at the Costa Verde Hotel. Amidst the simple beauty of the Mexican countryside, virtue and vice grapple as Shannon contemplates a new faith or "the long swim." The mature script, adapted by director John Huston from the Tennessee Williams play, is an accurate reflection of the growing social politics that dominated the 1960s.
