Film Society To Present Seven Films
The UNC-A Film Society will
present seven outstanding films
from five countries in its spring
semester series, which begins
February 2 with Serge Bourguig-
non’s “Sundays and Cybele”
from France. Subscriptions for
lovM of a B/ond«
the series are on sale now.
The films will be shown at
8:00 p.m. in the Humanities
Lecture Hall. The series includes
Milos Forman’s “Loves of a
Blonde” from Czechoslovakia
on February 23; Melvin Van
Peebles’ “Story of a Three Day
Pass” and LeRoi ones’ “Dutch
man” to be shown as a double
feature on March 15; Spanish
director Luis Banuel’s “Viri-
diana” on April 15; Alec Guiness
in “Kind Hearts and Coronets”
rom England on April 26; and
“La Dolce Vita” by Italian
director Federco Fellini on
May 10.
Subscriptions for all seven
films are $3.00 for students, $5.00
for individual faculty and staff,
and a special individual-plus-
spouse rate of $7.50. A student
subscription buys all seven films
for less than 50c a film, versus
75« single admission. An indi
vidual faculty or staff subscription
represents a saving of $2.50
over single admissions.
The subscription rates are the
same the UNC-A Film Society
has been previously charging for
five films, so season subscriptions
for the spring series represent a
price reduction over the fall
series. Subscriptions are avail
able from Assistant Professor
Goetz Wolff, Department of
Political Science, and will be
sold at the door on February 2
and February 23.
The opening film in the series.
“Sundays and Cybele,” depicts
the love between a lonely French
girl of twelve and a former
bomber pilot suffering from
amnesia and haunted by the
suffering he has inflicted in
Indochina. The relationship
between the young girl and the
older man is misunderstood by
the convention-bound French
town, which destroys both child
and man.
Milos Forman’s “Loves of a
Blonde” is one of the first films
to introduce the West to the new
Czech cinema. It is a quietly
comic view of a shy young girl
working in a factory who meets
an equally shy young pianist and
after some awkward preliminaries
spend a night with him. Thinking
she has found an exciting romance,
the girl arrives the next weekend
unannounced at the young man’s

whose title has come to symbolize
the aimlessness and anguish of
a pleasure-seeking society,stars

boy and his scandalized parents.
A double-feature consisting of
Melvin Van Peebles’ “Story
of a Three Day Pass” and LeRoi
Jones’ “Dutchman” will be
shown on March 15. Van Peebles,
the black writer, composer, and
film and stage director, is known
for his film “Sweet Sweetback”
and the play “Ain’ts Supposed to
Die a Natural Death” currently
on Brodaway. His first film,
“Story of a Three Day Pass” was

black man she taunts to violence
in a New York subway.
“Viridiana” by Spanish dir
ector Luis Banuel has been banned
by the Franco government, which
also attempted to prevent its
release outside Spain, because of
its devastating attack on church
and society in contemporary
Spain. It portrays the spiritual
downfall of a young convent
novice who attempts' to minister
to society’s outcasts and only
succeeds in unleashing profound
hypocrisy and violence.
