The Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities will be sponsoring a series of film screenings during the fall semester, starting October 6. IPRH’s theme for this year is “Borders” (about which you can read more at the IPRH’s Annual Themes page), and the films selected for the series all relate to this theme.

The schedule for the fall series:

• October 6: The Lord Is Not On Trial Here Today (Jay Rosenstein, 2010)
• October 27: No Country for Old Men (Joel and Ethan Coen, 2007)
• November 3: The Commitments (Alan Parker, 1991)
• November 17: Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1942)

All screenings will be held at Krannert Art Museum at 5:30 p.m. in Room 62 (the Auditorium). Read more, including synopses, at the IPRH’s film series page.
