7:00 p.m. - Women's Film Series: Mrs. Dalloway in
Reed Lecture Hall
A Closer Look
MRS. DALLO WAY HITS THE BIG SCREEN AT
PENN STATE BEHREND
Mrs. Dalloway is a much-admired novel by Virginia Woolf,
adapted to the screen by Marleen Gorris (creator of the Oscar
winning Dutch film Antonia's Line). This is the second film in the
Women's Film Series at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, and
will be shown on Tuesday, March 28, at 7 p.m. in the Reed Union
Building Lecture Hall.
The story unfolds during a single day in London in June 1923, as
the highly respected Mrs. Dalloway (Vanessa Redgrave) prepares
for a society party, which will also be attended by one of her former
suitors. As she reflects on her past and on choices she now regrets,
the present gives way to flashbacks about the young Clarissa
Dalloway's more passionate years and of her sacrifice of love for a
life of security and social standing as a politician's wife. Interwoven
within this drama is the story of a shell-shocked soldier (Rupert
Graves) whose battle trauma will ultimately lead to tragedy.
The Women's Film Series is sponsored by the Office of Student
Affairs and is free and open to the public. For more information,
please call (814) 898-6171.

TAKE A PERSIAN CARPET RIDE
WITH GABBEH AT PENN STATE BEHREND
The final film in the 2000 Women's Film Series at Penn State Erie, The
Behrend College, is the Iranian film Gabbeh, directed by Mohsen
Makhmalbaf. The movie will be shown at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4, in the
Reed Union Building Lecture Hall.
Gabbeh tells the timeless fable of Gabbeh, a beautiful young woman who
relates her tale to a memory-haunted old man. A member of a nomadic
desert tribe, she fell in love with a dashing horseman and eloped. The self
assertion of the woman drives the story, but it is the patriarchy of the tribe
that dictates its "truth." The film is as simple and traditional as a fairy tale,
yet multi-layered and modernist, unusual and thought-provoking.
Makhmalbaf has stated that the Iranian national cinema stems more
directly from the tradition of poetic storytelling than from previous films.
U.S. film critics place the film on their top-ten film list.
All films in the Women's Film Series are sponsored by the Office of
Student Affairs and are free and open to the public. For more information,
call (814) 898-6171.
