CMU's International Film Festival Screening of "20,000 Species of Bees" directed by Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren

Join us for a screening, resource fair, and panel discussion around the film on April 7th, at McConomy Auditorium

CMU International Film Festival Presents 20,000 Species of Bees Directed by Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren Sunday, April 7th McConomy Auditorium CMU Cohon University Center 2:00PM Resource Fair (Featuring local care providers, Spanish snacks and refreshments, local honey tasting, and beekeeping information) . 4:30PM Opening Remarks 5:00PM Film Screening 7:30PM Panel Discussion and Closing Remarks (Featuring advocates, experts, and educators engaging in discussion about Trans Rights, Gender Affirming Care, and the lived experience of the LGBTQIA+ Community) Please join the IFF in celebrating our vibrant local LGBTQIA+ community for a three-part day of togetherness, sharing, and community building centered around the film 20,000 Species of Bees. The film is a gorgeous coming-of-age tale about a young trans girl's sunbaked summer amongst her great aunt's apiary in the Basque countryside and the ways that experience shapes her identity and her relationship with her family. 20,000 Species of Bees is not just a film about a transgender child, but an intergenerational portrait about identity and acceptance in the family; about the construction of gender relationships; tradition and change; but above all about the need to be loved just as we are.  The first event is a resource fair and reception highlighting the many local associations, organizations, and providers who help bring us all together and keep us safe. There will be local honey to sample, as well as a delicious spread of meat, fish, cheese, and snacks from Spain and France, generously and lovingly provided by Chantal's Cheese Shop.   Following the reception will be the film screening at 5:00pm in McConomy Auditorium. 20,000 Species of Bees is 128 minutes long and is in Spanish, Basque, and French with English subtitles; tickets can be purchased here. After the screening, audience members will head over to Danforth Lounge and Conference room to enjoy some more snacks and a thoughtful and well-led panel discussion about the film and the experiences of our trans community members.   Click Here to watch a Trailer for the Film  This event is brought to you by the CMU International Film Festival and co-presented by the CMU Sustainability Initiative and the Center for the Arts in Society. It is co-sponsored by Chantal's Cheese Shop, Collaboratory Against Hate, and the CMU Student Center for Diversity and Inclusion. Click here to learn more about these Sustainability Goals

Coming Up: Pulitzer Prizewinner Hernan Diaz

Join us for a talk about Diaz's novel TRUST, an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle

Hernan Diaz Monday, April 8, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. ET Carnegie Music Hall and online Sponsored by University of Pittsburgh David C. Frederick Honors College   PURCHASE IN-PERSON TICKETS PURCHASE AN ONLINE ACCESS PASS An unparalleled novel about money, power, intimacy, and perception, Trust engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the deceptions that often live at the heart of personal relationships, the reality-warping force of capital, and the ease with which power can manipulate facts. "To me, one of the most fascinating formal problems in literature is point of view," Diaz says, "because taken to its ultimate limit, I think it's also an ethical problem, since it's related to power… How much about your characters do you know? How far into situations or people can you see? Is it right, just to solve a narrative problem or achieve an effect, to break the laws you had set for yourself?" His Pulitzer-winning Trust is comprised of four distinct sections with four points of view – playing with the trust between reader and narrator. Copies of Trust, along with other titles by Hernan Diaz, are available from White Whale Bookstore. We're delighted to welcome you back to a newly renovated Carnegie Music Hall for this event! Please purchase tickets online, or call our Box Office at 412-622-8866 during our hours of 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. Online access passes to individual lectures and subscriptions are still available! A Ten Evenings online access pass allows you to enjoy the lectures from the comfort of your home. With your pass, you can watch the livestream the day of the lecture, with continued access for seven days after. Copyright © 2024 Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures, All rights reserved.

Face your Fears on 21st March with CMU IFF!

CMU IFF 2024 PRESENTS: FACES OF FEAR!    JOIN US FOR OUR 18TH YEAR OF THE FILM FESTIVAL!    IT'S REAL. IT'S RAW. IT'S BOLD. IT'S DARING. IT'S HUMAN.   FACE YOUR FEARS WITH US.    2024 Opening Week Details! CMU IFF OPENING NIGHT SHOWTIME:   'FOUR DAUGHTERS'  by KAOUTHER BEN HANIA     FOUR DAUGHTERS  Directed by Kaouther Ben Hania  Tunisia, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia |  2023  |  Arabic | 110 min Thursday, March 21st  |  7PM @ Kelly Strayhorn Theater    Oscar-nominated documentary Four Daughters depicts the struggles of both motherhood and sisterhood in a land where the meaning of loyalty inherent to family ties changes almost daily. Placing a single family's traumatic past on full display, we see firsthand a grand attempt to come to terms with the destructive influence of radicalized religion through the medium of film. Two actresses take the role of Ghofrane and Rahma—the vanished daughters of Olfa Hamrouni, having disappeared years prior after being radicalized by extremists from the Islamic State. Another actress plays Olfa herself, in scenes deemed far too painful to reenact. The rest of the cast is self-played, and grieving, in an enthralling, never-before-seen film-within-a-film constitution.   This event includes: Opening Night Reception with delicious Tunisian Food catered by Salem's Market! Post Screening Discussion moderated by CMU Professor Nevine Abraham Additional events: Hands-on Acting Workshop                              Date & Time: Saturday March 23rd 1pm                              Location: Center For Creativity (University of Pittsburgh) Click https://www.cmuiff.com/festival-programming-2024/four-daughters to learn more about this event.   Presented By: Duolingo, Heinz College DICE, CMU Center for the Arts in Society, Salem's Market  Sponsored By:CMU Modern Languages Department, University of Pittsburgh Frederick Honors College, The Documentary Salon   BUY TICKETS NOW! Week One Films Festival Spotlight Festival Spotlight  The Peasants | Friday, March 22nd @ 7:00PM | Harris Theater, 809 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, USA   "The Peasants," inspired by Władysław Reymont's Nobel Prize-winning novel, unfolds in Lipce, a village ensnared by tradition and patriarchy. It follows Jagna, torn between lovers amidst societal conflicts—wealthy versus poor, bold versus timid, truth versus deceit. Unique to this film is its visual storytelling; every frame is a hand-painted masterpiece, marking a distinctive achievement in animation by the production studio. This artistic choice enriches the narrative, offering an unparalleled cinematic experience.   CMUIFF is honored to present The Peasants. Join us for an unforgettable evening with a Special Exhibit of Original Oil Production Paintings from The Peasants on display at the Harris Theater,  Zoom Q & A discussion with the directors Hugh and DK Welchman & a Catered Reception!   Learn more at: https://www.cmuiff.com/festival-programming-2024/the-peasants KEY DATES   Opening Night Ceremony March 21st    The Peasants  March 22nd   Closing Night Ceremony April 7th DONATE   Donate at: https://www.cmuiff.com/donation and help support the best international film festival in Pittsburgh!
