International Film Screening: Mataharis
Wednesday, November 18th 3:30 P.M.
Lake Shore Campus, Mundelein, Rooom 616

Directed by Iciar Bollain, Mataharis explores relationships and ethics in the daily life of working women. The title's implied irony-that women are employed as detectives not because they are tough and resourceful like Philip Marlowe but rather because they are seductive and deceitful like Mata Hari-is only the first of the complexities of this engrossing drama. The story's private investigators are used by their agency to infiltrate in ways that men can't.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH

Brown Bag Lunch Immersion
11:30 A.M. - 1:00 P.M.
LSC, CFSU, Rambler Room
Come have lunch and practice your favorite language. Language tables will include Arabic, Chinese, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Urdu.


International Film Screening: Destiny
Thursday, November 19th 8:00 P.M.
Lake Shore Campus, Mundelein, Room 616

Destiny deals with a very contemporary problem: the rise of religious fundamentalism and intolerance. Instead of setting the film in contemporary Egypt, though, the celebrated (and highly idiosyncratic) director Youssef Chahine has chosen to approach the issue indirectly, through the story of the 12th Century Arab philosopher Averröes.
