New York filmmaker Rebeca “Beba” Huntt explores her cultural background as an Afro-Latinx woman. In this tough, raw, stubborn, and powerful self-portrait, Beba stares down the curses of her ancestry, probing the psychic wounds she has inherited while simultaneously embracing the vastness of her multitudes. In the course of four revealing “chapters,” Huntt sheds light on a complicated family history, her upbringing, the influence of the Black Lives Matter movement, and her dreams of the future. [89 min; documentary; English and Spanish with English subtitles]
A Q&A with Solimar Otero (Folklore and Ethnomusicology, director of Latino Studies) and Olga Rodriguez-Ulloa (American Studies, Latino Studies) will follow the screening.
Sara Nodjoumi delves into the mystery surrounding the disappearance of more than 100 “treasonous” paintings by her father, seminal Iranian modern artist Nickzad “Nicky” Nodjoumi in this real-life fascinating family drama/political thriller.
Nickzad Nodjoumi joined the Islamic Revolution, making paintings and posters criticizing the Shah’s regime. In1980, the painter fled his home country following the vandalization of his solo exhibition, “Report on the Revolution,” and its subsequent shutdown by Islamic radicals at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art. Decades later, as Iran is once again embroiled in protests following the suppression and killing of Iranian women and activists at the hands of Iran’s “morality police,” the renowned artist and his daughter attempt to track down the missing paintings in hopes of reclaiming them. During the search, Sara, drawing on disarmingly frank conversations with both her father and mother, celebrated artist Nahid Hagigat, and grappling with complex feelings and mysteries tied to her own upbringing, traces a timeline of events to understand the circumstances that led to her homeland’s perpetual state of political turmoil and to her parents’ personal estrangement.

A special screening in celebration of Peter LoPilato, Harold and Maude is Hal Ashby’s classic black rom-com about two unlikely people coming together just when they need it most.
Harold and Maude is a romantic, dark comedy about living life to the fullest. Twenty-year-old Harold (Bud Cort) is obsessed with death, passing his spare time visiting junkyards, watching building demolitions, and attending funerals of strangers. One random funeral leads him to Maude (Ruth Gordon)—a septuagenarian who shares his funeral-hopping hobby. Their unlikely friendship soon evolves into an even more taboo romance. With gallows humor considered far too dark for many critics and audiences in 1971, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1997. [91 min; comedy, drama, romance; English]
IU Cinema is offering this screening in honor of our dear friend, Peter LoPilato, who passed away earlier this month.

In this innovative and timely talk, Jad Abumrad explores the art of conversation. For the last year, he’s been deep diving into the art of interviewing. Not just how journalists in his industry do it, but how do therapists do it? Salespeople? Hostage negotiators? Social workers?

He will share insights, play clips, and even lead the audience through a few interactive games.
