Charlotte Brontë's 1847 gothic romance classic gets a fresh retelling by director Cary Fukunaga (Sin Nombre). In Victorian England, Jane Eyre, plain and poor but determined and resilient, becomes governess in the house of the mysterious Mr. Rochester. Jane and her employer, cold at first, slowly begin to develop an attraction, but Rochester's house and past hold sinister secrets. This critically-acclaimed adaptation from 2011 brings Brontë's atmospheric tale to life onscreen.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams, a breathtaking new documentary from Werner Herzog (Encounters at the End of the World, Grizzly Man), follows his exclusive expedition into the Chauvet Cave in France, home to cave paintings over 30,000 years old. The film provides a unique opportunity for us to see the glorious images of wild animals--lions, wolves, bison, bears--that are found there.

Shy Parisian pixie Amélie discovers an aptitude for helping others find happiness, and makes it her raison d’être – playing cupid, guardian angel and kind ears – even when her own happiness seems just out of reach. An ever adorable Audrey Tautou stars in writer-director Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s irrepressible feel-good adult fairytale, turning Paris into an imaginative playground for lovers, lost souls and chance encounters. A worldwide sensation upon release, Amélie won four European Film Awards, including Best Film.

Director Johan Grimonprez ponders the symbiotic nature of politics and popular culture, casting Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor, unwittingly caught up in a double take on the cold war period. Subverting a meticulous array of TV footage and using 'The Birds' as an essential metaphor, Double Take traces catastrophe culture's relentless assault on the home, from moving images' inception to the present day, and features a sense of humor that would please The Master of Suspense himself.

From Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Charles Ferguson (No End in Sight), comes Inside Job, the first film to expose the shocking truth behind the economic crisis of 2008. The global financial meltdown, at a cost of over $20 trillion, resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs. Through extensive research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians and journalists, Inside Job traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia.

Eight years in the making, this epic film about feudalism in rural regions was named the best Egyptian film ever made in a recent poll of Egyptian film critics. It chronicles the struggle of a small village of peasants against the careless inroads of the local large landowner. Al-Ard powerfully shows why political oppression doesn't lead to a sense of solidarity among the disinherited. This classic film by Youssef Chahine was adapted from Abdel Rahman al-Sharqawi's well-known novel by the same title. | | | | | Get-together | | | | Life@PNNL - life@pnnl.gov | | Event | | |

Bolivia, February 2000. A foreign film crew, headed by ambitious director Sebastian (Gael Garcia Bernal) and producer Costa (Luis Tosar), arrives to make an epic about the Spanish Conquest amid protests against the government decision to privatize the nation’s water supply. The filmmakers’ story acts as the link between the parallels of the Spanish Conquest and modern-day greed, thematically playing off each other to form a sobering indictment ot the exploitation of Latin America's dispossessed. | | | | | Get-together | | | | Life@PNNL - life@pnnl.gov | | Event | | |
