UNIVERSITY FILM SERIES
MAY 6
Jules and Jim (1962, France) 104 min. Directed by Francois Truffaut. Introduced by Laird Easton, History and Humanities Center Board.
Hailed as one of the finest films ever made, legendary director François Truffaut’s early masterpiece charts the relationship between two friends and the object of their mutual obsession over the course of twenty-five years. Jeanne Moreau stars as Catherine, the alluring and willful young woman whose enigmatic smile and passionate nature lure Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre) into one of cinema’s most captivating romantic triangles. An exuberant and poignant meditation on freedom, loyalty, and the fortitude of love, Jules and Jim was a worldwide smash upon its release in 1962 and remains as audacious and entrancing today.

Lessons From Greenland, May 4
Mary Anne Donnelly: Lessons From Greenland
The Museum of Anthropology presents Mary Anne Donnelly for a discussion of her
travels to Greenland and her research of the Little Auk bird.
The Little Auk, or Dovekie, currently has about 20 million breeding pairs. While
the Auk population is plentiful for now, the increase in oil spills and climate
change has some researchers fearing for the species’ stability.
Donnelly, a local teacher in Chico, was able to study these interesting birds
through a program called PolarTREC, which combines teachers and researchers in
polar research.
Donnelly will be in Ayers 106 on Sunday, May 4, from 4 to 5 p.m., to discuss her
findings on the Little Auk and the beauty that the seas of Greenland provided.
