Let’s take a break from the recent trustee fracas: Dartmouth students and members of the Dartmouth community may be interested to know that a slice of the Telluride film festival has come to Dartmouth’s campus. The Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts tells us that “for the 22nd consecutive year, The Hopkins Center brings a sampler of the Telluride Film Festival to Dartmouth with premieres of six new and important films Sept. 21-27. This is a unique opportunity for filmgoers in the Upper Valley to have a sneak peek at the latest in international cinema—often months before they’re released.”
Today’s film, “I’m Not There,” is a documentary about the legacy of Bob Dylan: “In his poetic treatment of the iconic Bob Dylan, Todd Haynes (FAR FROM HEAVEN) provides a Finnegan’s [sic] Wake-like meditation on 1960s film culture, subtly probing the political-cultural reality essential to Dylan’s career.” Another film of note, to play this Thursday, is “Persepolis,” the screen adaptation of Marjane Satrapi’s charming graphic novel about growing up as a young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution.
The films will be displayed in the Arthur M. Loew auditorium, which is directly below the Hood Museum of Art; also, tickets may be purchased at the Hopkins Center’s box office which, of course, is located in the Hop.
