Director Akira Kurosawa and his star Toshiro Mifune gained international fame and awakened the world to the importance of Japanese cinema with this story of murder told through the eyes of four different characters. The defining event takes on a different twist with each retelling. The film remains a potent allegory of the chaotic conditions in Japan immediately following World War II.

A black man has stopped a white professor from throwing himself in front of a train, and takes him to his apartment in Harlem. The two men find themselves in a philosophical discussion on the purpose of living, of death, and all other great matters in between.

Umrao Jaan screening

Made at a time when the use of Urdu in popular Hindi cinema was almost unthinkable in India and from a director known for his patriotic works, this film is remarkable for J. P. Dutta's sheer audacity to envision it.

2018-03-09 19:30 - 21:29 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Western (Valeska Grisebach, Germany/Bulgaria/Austria 2017, 119 min., DCP, German, Bulgarian w/subtitles).
An intense, slow-burning thriller, Western follows a group of German construction workers installing a hydroelectric plant in remote rural Bulgaria. The foreign land awakens the men's sense of adventure, but tensions mount when Meinhard, the strong, silent newcomer to the group, starts mixing with the local villagers. The two sides speak different languages and share a troubled history. Can they learn to trust each other, or is the stage being set for a showdown? The third feature by Valeska Grisebach—arguably the most original and perceptive European filmmaker of the 21st century—was well worth waiting the eleven years since her previous masterpiece, Longing. In an era of global mass migration and growing cultural clashes, Western thoroughly explores the fundamental question of peaceful coexistence of different traditions.

FluidÃ˜ screening
2018-03-10 20:00 - 21:20 | Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, 341 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, New York, 14202, United States
Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center will host a screening of FluidÃ˜ (Shu Lea Cheang, Germany 2017, 80 min.) and a discussion with filmmaker Shu Lea Cheang.
Hallwalls is thrilled and honored to welcome back now Paris-based filmmaker and media artist Shu Lea Cheang, whose last appearance at Hallwalls was 22 years ago, December 1, 1995, when she presented her then newest film Fresh Kill: An Eco-Cybernoia Film (1995, 80 min.), in partnership with Squeaky Wheel and the Central New York Programmers Group. Fresh Kill's screenplay was by novelist Jessica Hagedorn, and the cast included Karen Finley, Robbie McCauley, Ron Vawter, Laurie Carlos, and Sarita Choudhury. Shu Lea's first visit to Hallwalls had been in February 1990, on the occasion of her audio/visual installation Making News/Making History: Live from Tiananmen Square, a centerpiece of that year's Video Witnesses: Festival of New Journalism. In between those visits, her 3-channel video work Color Schemes (1989, 28 min.) was shown at Squeaky Wheel as part of Hallwalls' Visible Women series (March 1992), and Sex Fish (produced by E.T. Baby Maniac: Ela Troyano, Jane Castle, and Shu Lea Cheang, 1993, 6 min.) was shown in Hallwalls' Mosaics of Desire series, part of our fourth biannual Ways In Being Gay festival (1994). (Even earlier, FluidÃ˜'s producer, Jürgen Brüning, moved from Berlin to Buffalo for two years—1988-1990—to serve as Hallwalls' staff film curator.) FluidÃ˜ (pronounced "fluid-zero") is a 2017 German science fiction film [in English] directed by Shu Lea Cheang. It was screened in the Panorama section at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival. Set in the 2060s, the film depicts a world in which HIV/AIDS has been fully eradicated. In some people, however, the virus has mutated into a gene that can be extracted to create a new psychoactive drug, leading to the creation of an extensive underground network of human trafficking to capture the carriers of this mutation in order to manufacture the drug.
