SUMMARY:Johanna Hanink\, "Bones\, Stones\, Trees\, and Roots: On the Enduring Urgency of Karkavitsas' Archeologist (1904)"
DESCRIPTION:How does a novella written more than one hundred years ago help to illuminate pressing issues in Greece today? Karkavitsas’ Archeologist\, an allegory for the contestation of antiquity’s role in Greek modernity\, was published at a time when Greece’s ancient past was emerging as a modern national industry. Major excavations were tied to the establishment of foreign schools in Greece\, while the sheer quantity of new archeological inspired a boom in museum construction. This talk will explore some of the early critiques that the work offered of the early Greek antiquity industry\, and of the mentalities – both foreign and domestic – that drove it. In the spirit of National Translation Day\, this talk will also consider the work’s many reflections on the Greek language (and the “Language Question”)\, as well as the complications the work itself presents for translation on both linguistic and cultural levels.  \nJohanna Hanink is Professor of Classics at Brown University. She is the author of Lycurgan Athens and the Making of Classical Tragedy (Cambridge 2014) and The Classical Debt: Greek Antiquity in an Age of Austerity (Harvard 2017). She is also a translator of Ancient and Modern Greek. \nThis lecture is offered on the occasion of International Translation Day\, in collaboration with the Embassy of Greece in Washington\, DC\, the UCLA Department of Classics\, and the Archaeological Institute of America\, Los Angeles Chapter. The discussion will be co-moderated by Professor Sarah Morris (Classics; Cotsen Institute of Archaeology) and Dr. Simos Zenios (UCLA SNF Hellenic Center). \nView a recording of this talk here. \nFor further information about The Archeologist and Selected Sea Stories\, visit the publisher’s site.

SUMMARY:Roger Michel\, "Phidias Unbound: How Robot-Generated Replicas Could Solve the Parthenon Marbles Quandary"
DESCRIPTION:The Parthenon Marbles\, commonly known as the Elgin Marbles\, were removed from the ancient Acropolis of Athens in 1801 by Lord Elgin\, British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Carved by the sculptor Phidias\, they were eventually sold to the British government in 1817 and are housed in the British Museum. Public debate about repatriating the marbles is heated and ongoing. \nCan the creation of exact copies of the originals resolve the repatriation quandary? Roger Michel\, executive director of the Institute of Digital Archaeology\, at the University of Oxford\, believes the repatriation issue can be resolved with the help of 3-D machining. His research team has developed a robot with the ability to create faithful copies of large historical objects. Michel will explore humanity’s connection to culturally significant objects and the emphasis we place on physical possession. Is possession an inherently colonial concept? Are heritage assets particularly susceptible to being exploited for the purposes of historical revisionism? Under what circumstances can copies provide satisfactory substitutes for original material? These questions will be examined against the backdrop of the IDA’s ongoing Elgin repatriation efforts. \nRoger Michel is the founder and Executive Director of the Institute for Digital Archaeology (IDA). The IDA operates globally\, undertaking a huge variety of heritage projects\, many of which are aimed at advancing social justice goals. Its principal partners are the UN\, UNESCO\, and local and national governments. Mr. Michel has published and lectured frequently on various heritage conservation topics. He was a member of the faculty at BU Law School for 25 years\, is an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College (Oxford)\, and is co-publisher of Arion Magazine. Mr. Michel is a graduate of Harvard and Oxford Universities. \nThis event\, co-presented by the UCLA/Getty Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage\, is being held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles and with the generous support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: Landscape in the Mist
DESCRIPTION:Landscape in the Mist (Topio stin Omichli) Greece/France/Italy\, 1988 \nA young girl and her brother run away to find the father they’ve never met in Germany. Ducking train conductors and hitching rides\, they’re befriended by Orestes\, a young man working with a troupe of traveling actors before his compulsory military service. Theo Angelopoulos conceived the children’s journey as a modern fairytale\, albeit one marked as much by darkness as wonder. As they seek a father displaced by economics\, their encounters reveal a whole generation set adrift\, waiting in limbo. The final installment in Angelopoulos’ “Trilogy of Silence\,” this was his eighth feature and the first to find theatrical distribution in the United States. \n35mm\, color\, 127 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Tonino Guerra\, Thanassis Valtinos. With: Michalis Zeke\, Tania Palaiologou\, Stratos Tzortzoglou. \nFor tickets (free of charge)\, click here. \nThis film is presented by The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture with support from the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies and with the community partnership of the LAGFF. The retrospective is held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles.

Lost in reveries of a brighter past\, he’s snapped back to life when\, on impulse\, he helps an Albanian refugee boy escape a police roundup. As their unexpected friendship grows\, Eternity and Day offers a profound meditation on the boundaries\, real and imagined\, between nations\, between past and present\, between life and death.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: Days of '36
DESCRIPTION:Days of ’36 (Meres tou ’36) Greece\, 1972 \nA political assassination kicks off Theo Angelopoulos’ portrait of one Greek dictatorship made under the shadow of another. This opening act of violence triggers a series of more ambiguous but equally ominous machinations—a prison escape\, a hostage crisis\, foreign powers conspiring over cocktails—with Angelopoulos emphasizing the atmosphere and anxiety of political repression over specific historical events. Wide shots and 360-degree camera pans suggest a panoramic vision but actually underscore what’s hidden from view. There is very little dialogue and even less explication but the cumulative effect is deeply unnerving. \n35mm\, color\, in Greek and English with English subtitles\, 105 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Petros Markaris\, Stratis Karras\, Thanassis Valtinos. With: Vangelis Kazan\, Kostas Pavlou\, Thanos Grammenos. \nFor tickets (free of charge)\, click here. \nThis film is presented by The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture with support from the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies and with the community partnership of the LAGFF.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: The Suspended Step of the Stork & The Beekeeper
DESCRIPTION:The Suspended Step of the Stork (To Meteoro Vima tou Pelargou) Greece\, 1991 \nThe plight of refugees in the Balkans and internationally dominated much of Theo Angelopoulos’ attention in the 1990s\, leading to two of his most acclaimed films\, Ulysses’ Gaze (1995) and Eternity and a Day (1998). The Suspended Step of the Stork\, which inaugurates this “Trilogy of Borders\,” however\, may be his sharpest assault on the moral and political failures of the West leading to the crisis. When a TV journalist believes he’s found a missing Greek politician living in a refugee camp\, a routine story becomes a potential blockbuster. A world-weary Marcello Mastroianni plays the mysterious refugee with Jeanne Moreau as the politician’s embittered wife who may hold the key to his identity. \n35mm\, color\, in Greek with English subtitles\, 136 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriter: Theodoros Angelopoulos\, Tonino Guerra\, Petros Markaris\, Dimitris Nollas\, Thanassis Valtinos. With: Marcello Mastroianni\, Jeanne Moreau\, Gregory Patrikareas. \n& \nThe Beekeeper (O Melissokomos) Greece\, 1986 \nEvery year\, Spyros (Marcello Mastroianni) takes up the family tradition of transporting its colony of bees across the rugged northern Greek countryside. This season\, however\, he’s joined by a young woman (Nadia Mourouzi) he picks up hitchhiking. Mastroianni delivers a quiet\, reserved performance that confounded some critics who felt Theo Angelopoulos had miscast the international star. But Mastroianni’s soulful silence\, however\, draws us deep into the existential crisis at the heart of the film about a generation that felt consumed by history and another in the process of forgetting it. \n35mm\, color\, in Greek with English subtitles\, 122 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriter: Theo Angelopoulos\, Tonino Guerra\, Dimitris Nollas. With: Marcello Mastroianni\, Nadia Mourouzi\, Jenny Roussea. \nFor tickets (free of charge)\, click here. \nThis film is presented by The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture with support from the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies and with the community partnership of the LAGFF.
