Janis Ian with special guest Dan Navarro, Grammy Winning Singer/Songwriter

Time: 12:30 PM

Location: Laxson Auditorium

Who among us doesn’t remember “At Seventeen,” Janis Ian’s hauntingly beautiful tale about how love works? That song earned her five Grammy nominations — the most any single solo female artist has ever garnered. Still going strong 30 years later, Ian’s newest album, Folk is the New Black, boasts the same blunt, finely tuned style she is known for. Now up to nine Grammy nominations, along with two wins, Ian combines her songwriting style and performing talent with a point of view brought on by the wisdom of age. Ian will be performing with special guest folk rocker Dan Navarro. Best known as one half of the duo Lowen & Navarro, he has had guest appearances on albums by Neil Young, Yes, Jose Feliciano, and Julio Iglesias, and has penned songs for Pat Benetar, Dionne Warwick, and the Temptations.

University Film Series: Polanski's KNIFE IN THE WATER

Time: 7:30 PM

Location: Little Theatre (Ayres 106), $3 donation appreciated, 898-4642

University Film Series

Knife in the Water (1962, Poland) 94 min. Directed by Roman Polanski. Hosted by Jason Tannen, University Art Gallery.*

The second protege of the Lodz Film School to become an international art house sensation (after Andrzej Wajda), Polanski pounced on the scene with a mischievous glint in his eye with this film, whose title suggests violence, suspense, and mystery. A minimalist, three-character drama of simmering marital discord, class warfare, and eroticism, Knife constantly thwarts expectations.

* Part of the Humanities Center’s theme this year: Regarding Beauty.
