The Rice Media Center's lineup in November and December continues with a variety of films, including a series of films from Iceland, several premieres and two films by Rice associate professor Brian Huberman. The Media Center will present a diverse collection of contemporary Icelandic films.
All films are Icelandic with English subtitles.
This film by Huberman, associate professor in Rice's Dept. of Art and Art History, takes a humorously sobering look at the controversy surrounding the English translation of the diary of Jose Enrique de la Pena, a Mexican soldier who fought at the Alamo. Huberman will lead a discussion following the films. The film is presented by the Media Center and the Bellaire High School Russian Club. This documentary juxtaposes the collapse of the Soviet Union with the growth of the director's daughter Anna over the course of 13 years. The film interweaves Anna's personal evolution with a caustic collage of news footage and propaganda films.
