Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes of attempting to battle a legion of unbeatable alien combatants, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again … and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita “The Angel of Verdun” Vrataski (Emily Blunt). As Cage and Vrataski take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.

Jacobs School of Music Jazz Studies students will perform original compositions and classics from the Great American Songbook.
Content Warning:
The first screening on May 1st will include 10 minutes of clips from a film that depict the racist tropes of Africans that Vieyra & Sembène set out to counteract through their own works. While the remaining films engage in critiques of colonialism and racism, the films themselves are appropriate for those 12 and older.
The Legacy of Ousmane Sembène & Paulin S. Vieyra is a film series which celebrates the crucial role these two pioneers played in the formation of early African cinemas. In collaboration with Bloomington’s Buskirk-Chumley Theater, every Thursday in May, the public will be invited to view African films at the BCT and to participate in discussions with film critics, some of the filmmakers’ collaborators, witnesses from the period, and African Film specialists. This public-facing event series will bring together both the Indiana University and Bloomington communities to engage in discussions of film, African cultures, the French-speaking world, and postcolonial history. It will also act as a kick-off event for the Collections of Sembène and Vieyra Archival Workshop which will bring an international cohort of scholars to the Indiana University campus in Summer 2025.
This series is organized by the Early African Cinemas Lab and sponsored by the Public Arts and Humanities Project, IU Department of French and Italian & the African Studies Program.

With a nod to the past and glance to the future the Dirty Grass Players are keeping alive the long history of bluegrass while pushing the traditional genre into the next generation. The Dirty Grass Players are an energetic explosion of old- time pickin’, coloured with an inventive, newgrass hand, that is given lyrical life by their soaring vocal harmonies that exist on an ethereal plain. They live at the crossroads between the traditional, which is the backbone of what they do, and the progressive with their innovative forward-thinking approach. The Dirty Grass Players, with their steady, workman-like precision and loose adventurous spirit are a band that can both confound Bill Monroe and cause him to smile uncontrollably. Their music is progressive, traditional, experimental, imaginative, and at its core, Dirty.

An exploration of contrasts, this exhibition brings together the distinct artistic visions of Nicholas Graham Hall and Catherine Conlin. “Minimalism & Maximalism: A Comparative Exhibition” invites viewers to engage in a visual dialogue between two seemingly opposing aesthetics.
Nicholas Graham Hall’s work explores minimalist concepts, focusing on the essential elements of form, color, and texture. His pieces often employ restraint and simplicity, inviting contemplation and a deeper connection with the core components of the artwork.
In contrast, Catherine Conlin embraces maximalism, creating richly layered and detailed pieces that overwhelm the senses. Her work is characterized by an abundance of imagery, vibrant colors, and a celebration of excess.
