Spring 2013: Wandering Lost Souls

Since its earliest days, cinema has cut the human subject free of its moorings. Theorist Siegfried Kracauer described the typical character of German silent film as an ?unhappy homeless soul [moving] like a stranger through the world of normal reality.? The image of wandering souls haunts us, and so we pursue these lost souls throughout our spring film series?from past to present, from earth to space, from fiction to science fiction to magic?souls wandering through the universe of film. All films screen at 3:00 pm, Collins Cinema, and are free and open to the public.
