April Fool’s Day Calendar 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 filr on their top-ten film list. All films in the Women’s 1 um Series are sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs and are free and open to the public. For more information, call (814) 898-6171.
