Spy Hop’s award-winning yearlong film class, PitchNic, was conceived in 2002 as an innovative way to unite young filmmakers with local supporters of independent film and youth media. In this intensive program, student writers, directors and producers work in teams to create two fiction and two documentary films 15-25 minutes in length. (The four films will “pitched” at a future date, where critical dollars are raised for production costs—giving students a budget from which to work.) Pitchnic, Nov. 8, 7:30-9:30p. $8.

Science Movie Night: Never Cry Wolf Never Cry Wolf is based on the Farley Mowat book by the same name. Filled with beautiful imagery, the film dramatizes the story of Mowat’s 1940s research into the relationship between Arctic wolves and declining caribou populations. While the book and movie have been credited with changing public perception of wolves, there continues to be debate about the accuracy of Mowat’s observations of wolf behavior.

Babcock Theatre: ’Tis Pity She’s a Whore Annabella is the delectably nubile daughter of a nobleman, Florio of Parma. Every eligible bachelor in Italy, it seems, wants to marry her. But her heart belongs to her brother, Giovanni. Full of the idealism of youth, the siblings’ passion is all-consuming, and can only bring about their ruin. With the men of Parma ready to fight and kill for Annabella’s hand, religion, morality and madness all collide as the brother and sister’s secret is revealed. One of the most controversial plays in the English theatrical canon, John Ford’s brilliant reimagining of Romeo and Juliet leads audiences deep into a story of passion, lust, vengeance, greed, corruption, incest, and murder. After almost 400 years, ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore’s tale of forbidden love remains controversial, shocking and theatrically spellbinding. Tis Pity She’s a Whore, Nov. 9-18, 7:30p (Sat-Sun 2p). Babcock Theatre, 300 S 1400 E. $15/$8 students. THEATRE.UTAH.EDU
