Please mark your calender's for "Movement," IU Cinema's Asian Pacific American film series, timed to kick off IUB's Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2014! http://www.cinema.indiana.edu/?post_type=series&p=6151 Thursday, March 27, 7 pm IN THE FAMILY In the town of Martin, Tennessee, six-year-old Chip Hines has only known a good life with his two dads, Cody and Joey. But when Cody dies suddenly in a car accident, his will reveals that he has named his sister as Chip’s guardian. The years of Joey’s acceptance into Cody’s family unravel as Chip is taken away from him. In his now solitary home life, Joey searches for a solution. In the Family is a heartfelt story woven around “two-Dad” families, loss, interracial relations, the American South, and the human side of the law. Director Patrick Wang is scheduled to be present. Friday, March 28, 3 pm Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker LECTURE by filmmaker PATRICK WANG Friday, March 28, 7 pm AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY: THE LIFE OF GRACE LEE BOGGS What does it mean to be an American revolutionary today? Grace Lee Boggs is a 98-year-old Detroiter whose vision of revolution will surprise you. As a writer, activist, and philosopher, she has devoted her life to exposing the contradictions of America’s past and realizing its potentially radical future. American Revolutionary plunges us into Boggs’s lifetime of thinking and action, from labor and civil rights to Black Power, feminism, environmental justice, the Asian American movement, and beyond. Revolution, Boggs says, is about something deep within the human experience—the ability to transform oneself to transform the world. Saturday, March 28, 3 pm LINSANITY: THE MOVIE Aspiring filmmaker Evan Jackson Leong needed a documentary subject, and high school basketball player Jeremy Lin fit the bill. What Leong could never have imagined in his wildest dreams was Lin’s sudden, meteoric rise to planetary NBA sensation in 2012 as the New York Knicks’ backup point guard. Before “Linsanity”took the world by storm, Leong was there to capture every step of this legend in the making. The series is sponsored by IU’s Asian Culture Center, Asian American Studies Program, Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs, Departments of History, Department of Communication and Culture, College of Arts and Sciences, Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society, IU GLBT Student Support Services Office, and IU Cinema. Screenings are free, but ticketed.
