This acclaimed feminist crime thriller follows a sleeper agent in a Guatemalan gang on the most important mission of all: finding her missing sister. The first-ever Guatemalan film shown at IU Cinema!
A sad-sack writer with a severe case of writer’s block travels to a quiet summer home by the Baltic Sea, hoping to make some progress on his stalled novel (working title: “Club Sandwich”). Upon arrival, he discovers that the cottage has been double-booked. The unexpected house guests, including the enchanting Nadja, prove to be a distraction. As professional deadlines loom, emotional and romantic entanglements ensue. Meanwhile, distant fires on the horizon begin to threaten the home.
Pink Floyd were caught in the epicentre of the underground scene of the 60s as the psychedelic house band of the UFO club in London, with Syd Barrett its enigmatic figurehead, inspiring such musicians as David Bowie and Marc Bolan. Though he named the group, wrote the first two hit songs and was the lead vocalist and guitarist, Barrett was pushed out of the band by its members who were convinced he was having an LSD induced psychotic breakdown. Barrett subsequently dropped out of the music industry, living as a recluse for thirty years.
Directed by Storm Thorgerson and Roddy Bogawa, the film combines archival footage with present-day interviews (including classic band members David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Roger Waters)/ Thorgerson was a lifelong friend of Barrett’s and, as a member of the graphic art collective, Hipgnosis, designed a number of Floyd’s album sleeves and influenced the band’s game-changing aesthetic.

The HiStory Book Club continues its 2023 reading lists with The Storyteller of Casablanca by Fiona Valpy.
Karen A. Wyle was born a Connecticut Yankee, but eventually settled in Bloomington, Indiana. She now considers herself a Hoosier. She is an appellate attorney, photographer, and mother of two. Relying on her legal background, she has written one nonfiction resource, explaining American law to authors, law students, and anyone else interested in better understanding the legal landscape. Wyle’s voice is the product of a lifetime spent reading both literary and genre fiction. Her personal history has led her to focus on often-intertwined themes of family, communication, the impossibility of controlling events, and the persistence of unfinished business.

Inspired by the real-life adventures of legendary cattleman Tom Candy Ponting, Longhorns East takes readers on an unforgettable journey as big and bold as the American Dream itself. The story is based on the longest cattle drive in American history when, in the mid-1840s, Tom Candy Ponting became the first ever cattleman to make the journey from Texas to New York City, bringing the Texas Longhorn to the Northeast for the first time and changing the cattle industry forever.

Sometimes the pursuit of our greater humanity involves jumping into life headfirst. That’s what McKain Lakey does. You can tell by her songs.
Armed with George the trusty road cat, a carful of instruments, and all the fight of a rambling, rural-raised, queer femme wanderer, McKain Lakey is one to be reckoned with. She’s the rare human who feels as comfortable wielding a chisel as she does a guitar, who can be as often spotted behind the soundboard in a crowded venue as discussing the intersections of race and gender in old time music with a classroom full of 5th graders.
Described by What’s Up Magazine as “a time capsule unearthed, fine-tuned and re-imagined”, Lakey draws creative inspiration from far corners of the American music tradition, tracing the lines of musical lineage that connect Old Time to Rockabilly, Country to Cajun to Dixieland. She’s a dedicated student of tradition, but at once unafraid to stare down convention through the modern lens of her lived experience. Her new album, Somewhere, blurs lines of old and new, referencing musical textures of past eras while unabashedly exploring topics of mental health, family separation, rural identity, and queer love.
“My introduction to American folk music was so rooted in the knowledge that I am a part of living tradition, a web connected across time and distance, and built by generations of creative and resilient people.” – McKain Lakey
