SERIES OPENS THIS
SUNDAY, THE 10TH

Film Series Returns for ‘Picturing Reconciliation’

Oklahoma City University’s 36th annual international film series will open at 2 p.m. Sept. 10 with director François Ozon’s 2016 film “Frantz.” All films in the series will be screened free to the public in the Kerr McGee Auditorium in Meinders School of Business at N.W. 27th Street and McKinley Avenue.

This year’s series is based on the theme “Picturing Reconciliation.”

In a period when historians and world leaders are reassessing the first World War during its centennial, Ozon’s German/French co-production “Frantz” explores the subtle costs of that war in the lives of those who survived it.

Filmed in richly nuanced black and white, Ozon’s reimagining of Maurice Rostand’s post-World War I script for “Broken Lullaby” takes viewers back 100 years while offering a story that also transcends eras and wars. Anna is a young German woman mourning the loss of her fiancée Frantz, living with his kind parents, and trying to find a way to move on. When French veteran Adrien arrives in Germany to insert himself in their lives, his presence brings out tensions within the family and their community. As a veteran of the enemy army, Adrien forces Frantz’s loved ones into an emotionally complicated landscape, despite his charms. The story gives subtle revelations that raise questions about guilt, loyalty and the relevance of truth.

Film series director Tracy Floreani said she and her advisory committee wanted this year’s film series to take on a positive theme in light of the many global crises and cultural divides occurring throughout the world.

“All of these films deal with the idea of reconciliation in some way, whether people from warring factions trying to understand one another, or people treading the difficult terrain of forgiveness or acceptance,” Floreani said.

Films are also selected based on feedback and requests from audience members at past series. The films run throughout the academic year, from September through March.

A discussion session follows each film for those who wish to stay, and a list of theme-based recommended readings and podcasts will be available at each screening.

“In the past we’ve always screened eight feature films and then offered a separate documentary film series in the spring,” Floreani added, describing changes from years past. “We’ll now be screening more films and integrating occasional documentaries into the year-long series.”

Past series featured a book title as inspiration. That will be replaced this year by a constantly updated list of recommended reading and listening materials to take advantage of the variety of online interviews and podcasts related to each films’ theme, Floreani added.

The series will also launch a new annual film accompaniment called “Picturing Poetry,” a feature film or documentary about poetry in conjunction with the distinguished poet event that occurs the first week of April each year. A screening of Jim Jarmusch’s latest film “Paterson” will open the “Picturing Poetry” concept March 25 to accompany the visit of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Koumyakaa on campus April 4.

The Film Institute is supported by the Thatcher Hoffman Smith Endowment Fund for the University’s Center for Interpersonal Studies through Film and Literature.

Other dates and films in the series include:

·         Sept. 24 with “The Look of Silence” by Joshua Oppenheimer

·         Oct. 8 with “In the Name of the Father” by Jim Sheridan

·         Oct. 22 with “Tanna” by Martin Butler and Brantley Dean

JAWALA RISING FLAME
SAT. SEPT. 8 IN TULSA

A classical yet experimental Bharata Natyam dance performance by Mythili Prakash

Jwala explores an image that is central to all cultures, both in daily life and in philosophy: The Flame. The same flame that burns is that which illuminates. Jwala tries to envision “Flame” through the language of Bharata Natyam, a form which is incredibly codified in its gestural language and structure, but has tremendous scope for interpretation and creative liberty.

Saturday    September 9 2017 @ 7:30 pm   

At the   Tulsa Performing Arts Center   John H. Williams Theater

Tickets are $30 and $15

BRIGHTMUSIC
SOCIETY'S
2017-18 SEASON

Oklahoma City’s premier chamber ensemble celebrates its 15^th year. 

The Brightmusic Society of Oklahoma announces the 2017-18 concert season of the Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble, its 15^th as Oklahoma City’s premier chamber music ensemble.  Five regular-season concerts will be presented in Oklahoma City’s beautiful and historic St. Paul’s Cathedral, renowned for its acoustic richness. 

Artistic Directors Chad Burrow and Amy I-Lin Cheng have programmed an exciting season replete with cornerstones of classical music, such as Mozart, Schubert and Brahms, punctuated by the freshness and high-energy of 20^th- and 21^st-century composers such as Gershwin, Piazzolla, and Oklahoma City’s own Edward Knight.  The season culminates in a world premiere of a work by another Oklahoma composer, Samuel Magrill, commissioned by Brightmusic, capping a virtuosic tour-de-force season. 

“Across the board, the ensemble’s performances were well-balanced, well-conceived and beautifully executed.”  Lauren Hughes, The Oklahoman, June 25, 2017

Concert 1   Sept. 26  7:30 pm  “Song and Dance” will feature works of 20^th and 21^st century composers celebrating song, dance and rhythm.  Brightmusic strings, clarinet, horn and piano will present works by George Gershwin (“Porgy and Bess” Ballade), a suite of four tangos by Astor Piazzolla, a work by Edward Knight and a sextet by Ernö Dohnányi (aka Ernst von Dohnanyi).  See if you can resist the urge to tap your foot or get up and dance. 

Concert 2   Nov. 7  7:30 pm  “Masterworks for Three” revisits the old classics with trios for strings, horn and piano by Mozart, Mendelssohn and Brahms. 

Concert 3   Jan. 23  7:30 pm  “String Theory” presents a trio of string quintets by Bunch, Mozart and Dvořák with a touch of clarinet. 

Concert 4   March 20  7:30 pm   “Montage of Sound” is a whirlwind tour of seven 19^th and 20^th century works for viola, woodwinds, horn, piano and tenor by a diverse group of composers: Donizetti, Schubert, and Vaughn Williams, and many others.

    

Concert 5   April 17  7:30 pm  “Old and New” concludes the season with works for strings, flute & piano by Saint-Saëns, Schubert and a world premiere by Samuel Magrill commissioned by Brightmusic featuring the composer at the piano.  Be among the first to hear it!
