It's been awhile since this blog was last updated. Some of you probably thought the International Cinema at Utah Valley University to be dead. But, I assure you, it is alive and well. In the very near future I will be posting our Spring lineup, and believe me, it is a great series of films! We've even got a few surprises this year that you won't want to miss. So, stay tuned!

One important note!!! Since UVSC has now become UVU, a NEW BLOG has been created for the International Cinema. This one will remain for archival purposes, but all future updates will be on the NEW BLOG!

Thank you all!

We are more than pleased to announce that we will be presenting a DaDa/DaDa-ist film series at UVSC every Wednesday night @ 7:00 p.m. in room LA 008. This is an extended activity of the DAda WORKSHOP/CLASS that is currently HAPPENING here at UVSC (Humanities 320R - M, W, F, 1:00 - 1:50 - in room LA 108). We will do our first screening on February 13, with a final screening on April 16th.All in all there will be 9 screenings (observe the schedule below). Each week we will begin each screening with a bona fide DaDA film (each week to be announced/determined) followed by the daDa-IST/daDa-ish film listed on the schedule below. UVSC Professor/Artist-in-Residence/DAD(d)a Alex Caldieroooooooohhhwill be presenting each film in the flesh; helping with appropriate information, background, perspective, and insight into the MinD of each film...as well as facilitating a discussion in-between/after the films. This is an incredible and healthy opportunity to experience and interact with one of the most incredibly creative, vigorous and adolescent periods in film history...and to see where/how it has influenced other films. We will also, perhaps, see dada-ist elements in films not necessarily/really related to the phenomena known as 'Dada' that was rowdily rampant in the early 1900's, who's spirit still lives on (EVen) today. We will, hopefully, (with your help), conjure that spirit. We will also catch a nice glimpse into exactly where we are at, and where we ought to be with the film medium NOWADAYS. Please attend. Please spread the word. DADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADA... Thank you.
