Tuesday, October 22, 9:25-11 a.m. The Cultural Politics of Taste With Krishnendu Ray
Many food writers highlight the link between taste and territory (environmental factors) called “terroir.” An argument has ensued mostly about roots and rootedness and slowing down change. This covers about half the human experience. The other half is about movement and dispersal. Billions of people are moving from country to city, from city to city, from nation to nation. Krishnendu Ray brings mobility to the center of the discussion on taste, focusing on South Asian immigrant foodways in the United States. Krishnendu Ray is chair of nutrition and food studies at NYU, and former associate dean at Culinary Institute of America. He is the author of The Migrant’s Table (2004) and The Ethnic Restaurateur (2016), and co-editor of Curried Cultures: Globalization, Food and South Asia (2012). Ray’s most recent work is on street vending in global cities. In collaboration with the Food Studies Program in the Department of Anthropology. Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library

CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA A series of films showcasing Coppola’s work over the decades. To mark the 80th year of one of Hofstra’s distinguished alumni, Francis Ford Coppola (born April 1939), we present a series of film screenings, showcasing some of the director’s best work. From Coppola’s biggest hits of the 1970s, to his more independent productions and his recent, more personal approach to filmmaking, we are proud to present the following films.
Thursday, October 10, 7 p.m. The Godfather (1972)
One of the true masterpieces of the American cinema, this sprawling family epic stars the incomparable Marlon Brando as the head of a New York crime family in the 1940s, with a supporting cast of future A-listers, including Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall, James Caan, and Talia Shire. With stunning cinematography by one of the masters, the late Gordon Willis, this multiple-Oscar-winning film took Coppola’s career to a whole new level. Introduced by Professor Stanislao Pugliese, Hofstra University Department of History.
Monday, October 21, 7 p.m. Apocalypse Now — Final Cut (1979/2019)

Introduced by Associate Professor Aaron Braun, Hofstra University Department of Radio,
Television, Film.
Wednesday, October 30, 7 p.m. Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)
Coppola’s version of the classic vampire tale takes some liberties in turning Stoker’s source novel into a stylish, gothic romance crossed with a good old-fashioned horror film. Starring Gary Oldman as Dracula, with Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins,
Tom Waits, and Cary Elwes.
Introduced by Assistant Professor Russell Harbaugh, Hofstra University Department of Radio,
Television, Film.
Monday, November 4, 7 p.m. The Rain People (1969)

Monday, November 11, 7 p.m. Tetro (2009)

OFFICE OF THE PROVOST AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS presents
Wednesday, November 6, 11:15 a.m.-12:40 p.m. (Common Hour) FALL 2019 DISTINGUISHED FACULTY LECTURE Impact of Demographic, Psychographic, and Perception of Negative/Positive Candidate Character on Voter Choice in the 2016 Presidential Election
Analyzing survey data collected one week prior to the 2016 election, it was determined that voter opinion of candidates’ character had the greatest impact on their candidate choice – more than demographic or psychographic variables collectively. A candidate’s ability to highlight their own competence and improve voters’ view of their character, i.e., present themselves in a positive light, while diminishing the character of their competitors, i.e., disparage their opponent, is a viable strategy for winning elections. Political marketers have limited time and financial resources and need to focus on the variables that will win the most votes. Candidates, increasingly known as brandidates, may benefit more from employing pure marketers than political advisors to win elections. Speakers: Shawn Thelen, PhD Professor of Marketing and International Business Frank G. Zarb School of Business Boonghee Yoo, PhD Professor of Marketing and International Business Frank G. Zarb School of Business Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library For more information, please call the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at 516-463-5400.

In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Poland (9-1-1939)
Monday, September 23, 6 p.m. Film Screening: In Darkness
From acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland, In Darkness is based on a true story. Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Lvov, a Nazi-occupied city in Poland, one day encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation of the ghetto. He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town’s sewers. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement turns into something very unexpected, the unlikely alliance between Socha and the Jews as the enterprise seeps deeper into Socha’s conscience. The film is also an extraordinary story of survival as these men, women, and children all try to outwit certain death during 14 months of ever-increasing and intense danger. Commentator: Dr. Ellen G. Friedman, Professor of English and Holocaust and Genocide Studies The College of New Jersey Author, The Seven, A Family Holocaust Story Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library Funding for these programs has been provided, in part, by the Dorothy and Elmer Kirsch Endowment for the Hofstra Cultural Center.

ITALIAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE LECTURE SERIES presents
Look Again: Old and New Films in Italian Studies Tuesday, September 24, 7 p.m. Film Screening: Assunta Spina (1915) Live musical score performed by John T. La Barbera, guitar, and Susan Aquila, violin
A silent black and white film classic from Naples, based on the play by Salvatore DiGiacomo, starring the queen and diva of the Italian silent cinema, Francesca Bertini. The operatic tale of love and sacrifice in working class, turn-of-the-century Naples is considered to be one of the first films of Italian neorealism. Bertini’s performance set a new standard for Italian cinema. The new musical film score created by La Barbera creates an intimate atmosphere by keeping an accompaniment of emotions found in the melodic themes of the characters in a leitmotif style that highlights the melodramatic and picturesque style of the film. Presented in collaboration with Hofstra University Professor Rodney Hill’s History of Film class.
Thursday, October 24, 7 p.m. Film Screening: War Cellar
Directed by Giovanni Pugliese, Writer, Producer Set in Rome during the end of World War II, an American soldier and an Italian woman must find a way to trust one another in order to survive.

He is accompanied by Lucrezia, an Italian woman in her early 30s, who happens to be the daughter of the king of Italy. Both have one thing in common: the guilt bearing on their souls.

JOSEPH G. ASTMAN CONCERTS Thursday, November 14, 6:30 p.m. Hevreh Ensemble and Native American Flute Maker Daniel Bigay
Hevreh is a Hebrew word meaning “circle of friends.” Hevreh’s essence is the thread of intention and imagination that connects a Cherokee flute to a shofar. Hevreh’s aesthetic is the double-image evoked by the intertwining of distinct musical languages, delivered with the respect of exacting classical technique, the playful joy of jazz improvisation, and the intense warmth, humor, and empathy that only a close-knit chamber ensemble can offer.
Hevreh is excited to welcome master artist, musician, and Native American flute maker Daniel Bigay to its circle of friends. Bigay belongs to the Echota Cherokee Tribe of Alabama and is of Cherokee, Choctaw, Taino, and Scot/Irish descent. In commemoration of Indigenous Peoples Month, this collaboration includes commentary on the loss of indigenous language in Native American culture, demonstrations of the beautiful flutes that Bigay creates, opportunities to try playing a Native American flute, and a performance that includes solo works for Native American flute and works played together with the Hevreh Ensemble. Lowenfeld Exhibition Hall, Axinn Library, 10th Floor

Other People’s Parties Through March 13, 2020
In today’s hyperconnected social world, images of others have become a ubiquitous part of everyday life, but what is it about other people’s parties that intrigues us so much? Is it idle curiosity or something more? This exhibition, featuring photography from artists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Larry Fink, Danny Lyon, Mary Ellen Mark, and Andy Warhol, calls attention to the highs and lows of our most social occasions, investigating the human impulse to capture party moments through photography and our desire to live vicariously through images of others.
