What does it mean to call an object “traditional” or “authentically Native American”? Explore these questions through examples of basketry, ceramics, textiles, and jewelry that came into being as a result of interactions with other Native American groups, contact with non-Native admirers and markets, or particular happenstances in a community’s history. Organized by Emma Kessler, curatorial assistant for the arts of Africa, the South Pacific, and the Americas.

Gaspard (Melvil Poupaud), a recent university graduate, arrives at the seaside in Bretagne for three weeks’ vacation before starting a new job. He’s hoping his sort-of girlfriend, the fickle Léna (Aurélia Nolin), will join him there; but as the days pass, he welcomes the interest of Margot (Amanda Langlet, the titular character from Rohmer’s Pauline at the Beach), a student of ethnology working as a waitress for the summer. Things start to get complicated when the spoken-for Margot encourages Gaspard to have a summer romance with her friend, Solène (Gwenaëlle Simon), and he complies. When Léna turns up, and scheduling complications abound, Gaspard will have to make a choice…

Rohmer’s characteristically light touch allows his characters to discourse on love and friendship, even as their body language complicates and even contradicts their words. Diane Baratier’s cinematography perfectly captures the languor of youth and the feeling of a French beach vacation—the sea, the sunlight and the lovely surroundings convey the openness of a world of possibilities faced by these young people. In French language with English subtitles. (2K DCP presentation)

In the Iranian ghost town of Bad City, all sorts of unsavory characters are being stalked by a lonely vampire. But when boy meets girl, an unusual love story begins to blossom…blood red. The first Iranian Vampire Western, Ana Lily Amirpour’s debut is a joyful mash-up of influences that span spaghetti westerns, graphic novels, horror films, and the Iranian New Wave. Amped by a mix of Iranian rock, techno and Ennio Morricone-inspired riffs, its airy, black-and-white aesthetic and artfully paced scenes combine the simmering tension of Sergio Leone and surrealism of David Lynch. In Persian language with English subtitles. (2K DCP presentation)
