WMM.COM "Sisters in Law,' one of the films being shown. ‘Stories of Childhood’ film series a success Kevin Smith | Staff Writer "80, 80, 70, 80, 100," said Associate Professor of German and Director of International Studies David Limburg as he reported the attendance for the first five films of the "Stories of Childhood" film series. "They're all supposed to be really good," he added, anticipat ing the remaining three. The series is made up of 11 films from 11 different countries includ ing Morocco, Guatemala, China and Spain. Nine languages are spoken in the 11 films. Limburg organized the series with the help of several other international stud ies faculty members. "They were all chosen from dif ferent international studies fac ulty. Each one of them that chose the film will present it and give a little introduction and then lead a discussion afterwards. That's been working really well," said Limburg. The theme of childhood was developed from a dialogue within the foreign language department. "I put out a message to all inter national studies faculty and just asked 'what's a good theme?' back in the fall. We got a lot of sugges tions. One person suggested it, and others presented different aspects of the idea," said Limburg. Limburg believes that the large and diverse attendance of the series is healthy for the Guilford community. "It's been a good mix of on-cam pus students and people who live off of campus. "The Silence of Neto" was a full house; it was 100 or more. We just enjoy getting people from off- campus together with people from on-campus in watching these films and then discussing them after wards," said Limburg. Senior Rebecca Nau was intrigued by the series' third film, "Rabbit-Proof Fence." The film takes place in 1931 Australia and focuses on the government's attempt to integrate aboriginal children into white society. "It was an issue that I didn't know anything about. I knew about the aborigines. I knew about the British colonizing Australia, but I never heard about these prob lems," said Nau. "Clearly there always are issues during coloni zation, but seeing this film really brought them to my attention. It certainly was not as publicized as other issues." Nau was also inspired from her experience to continue attending the "Stories of Childhood" series. "Because I enjoyed it and was really educated from it, I really would like to go see other mov ies in the series. I'd like to get the same thing I did from seeing 'Rabbit-Proof Fence.'" Dave Limburg also wants to continue the streak of having for eign films at Guilford. "I want Guilford to build on the reputation of being a place to see foreign films, because there aren't very many cinemas in town that show them. So we really want to establish that reputation, because we show a series in the fall too," said Limburg. There are three films left in the series: "The Official Story" (April 4), "Tsotsi" (April 5) and "Butterfly Wings" (April 10). Maria Luisa Amado, France Ntloedibe, and Shelini Harris will host the remaining film discussions. "Tsotsi" won the 2005 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film and is "a film of deep emotional power" accord ing to Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun Times. All film viewings will be held in Bryan Jr. Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Oel Reody! Online fflU 2007 He9i/lroUon i/ Comin9 loon! Online registration is a smooth process.
