Animal, Vegetable, Mineral: Recent Experimental Documentaries
An earthwork emerges from underwater; a man sails out to sea and disappears. The history of
a glass of milk is chronicled, and the myths of the mainstream media smashed. Speculative,
observant, or interrogative, these recent documentaries manifest the urge to deal with the world—
its people, its injustices, its beauty—with diverse strategies and to surprising effect. With support from
the Consortium, the filmmakers will be present to discuss their work.
Complete program details at http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu.

7:30 F Is for Phony
Booksigning and Presentation by Alexandra Juhasz and Jesse Lerner
Fake documentaries date to the earliest days of cinema, when incidents as diverse as a boxing match
and a war were staged. The articles in F Is for Phony examine some modern-day precursors to the
mockumentary, including Luis Buñuel's Land Without Bread, but focus on contemporary independent films
in which artists astutely interrogate distinctions between fiction and nonfiction, the relativity of truth, and even
when a lie tells the truth. We invite you to view this selection of films discussed in the book with an appropriately
suspicious attitude. (Total running time: c. 100 mins)
Alexandra Juhasz and Jesse Lerner are the editors of the new book F Is for Phony: Fake Documentary and
Truth's Undoing. Both are film- and videomakers who teach media studies at Pitzer College.

February 8-10, Nestrick Room, 142 Dwinelle Hall, free admission
Organized by Film Studies graduate students, this conference will present a dialogue between
the early film cultures of Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas, and attempt to open

Alcibiades
Monday, February 11th, 7pm, Durham Studio Theater, free admission, discussion to follow.
A world premier public reading of Alcibiades, a new play by UC Berkeley graduate student
Adam Chanzit, directed by Alex Harvey. The beautiful Athenian bad boy and pupil of Socrates,
Alcibiades, hopes to break free from his teacher’s powerful rhetoric and all-consuming love to
serve his city. Yet as Athens declines, it leans towards the most extreme and violent foreign
policy in the name of fostering “freedom” and “democracy” and recapturing its own golden age.
Not far beneath the rhetoric, leaders struggle for power, wealth, and youth. The story of Alcibiades,
his teacher, Socrates, and the fickle city of Athens, is loosely and liberally adapted from Plato,
Thucydides, and Plutarch.
Workshop for Student Actors: Developing New Material for the Theater
Thursday, February 7th, 5-7pm, 413 Zellerbach Hall, free admission
Contact Adam Chanzit to register: chanzit@berkeley.edu
New York-based freelance director Alex Harvey will lead students in a two hour intensive,
on-your-feet workshop on developing new material for the theater. Activities will include
interpreting select scenes of the new play, Alcibiades, as well as creating new short stage
stories through collaborative exercises.
Panel Discussion: Defining the Boundaries of Adaptation
Friday, February 8th, 2-4pm, 3335 Dwinelle Hall, free admission
At what point does a theatrical adaptation become a new creation? Why do authors adapt
older texts to speak to a contemporary audience? What happens when a text moves from
the page to the stage, from a fixed object to a live performance? By considering several
recent theatrical adaptations this interdisciplinary panel draws on a wealth of experience to
explore these and other questions. In the process, the discussion aims to develop a richer
understanding of the complex relationship between adaptation and original creation.
Featuring Professors Peter Glazer (Theater, Dance & Performance Studies), Mark Griffith
(Classics and TDPS), directors Barbara Oliver and Alex Harvey, and playwright Adam Chanzit.

Enrique Chagoya: Borderlandia
February 13- May 18, Berkeley Art Museum
Mickey Mouse meets Aztec gods and Francisco Goya meets Jerry Falwell in the first major museum
retrospective of the work of Mexico-born, San Francisco–based artist Enrique Chagoya. Chagoya
draws on the European canon, Mexican folk arts, and U.S. pop icons to create paintings, drawings,
and prints that are politically charged, formally sophisticated, and often scathingly funny. The following
public programs were made possible in part by support from the Consortium. All programs are free with
museum admission.
Image above: Enrique Chagoya: Crossing I, 1994; Acrylic and oil on paper, 48 x 72 inches (121.9 x 182.9 cm);

Artist's Lecture: Enrique Chagoya
Sunday, February 17, 3pm, Museum Theater
In an illustrated talk about the vast array of art-historical precedents, historical events, political figures,
and pop-culture icons that appear in his work, Chagoya will share the motives, methods, and inspirations
that inform twenty-five years of art making.
Interdisciplinary Panel: Borderlandia in Mind / La frontera en la mente
Sunday, March 16, 3pm, Museum Theater
More than a geopolitical line dividing Mexico and the United States, the border is also a condition, a state of mind,
"a world of hybrids and collisions." Contributing perspectives from literature, ethnic studies, and visual culture,
UC Berkeley scholars and other practitioners consider a variety of concepts and meanings of the border along
with artist.
Reading & Discussion: Author Victor Martinez and Artist Enrique Chagoya
Sunday, April 13, 2pm, exhibition galleries
In an interactive, in-gallery discussion, author Victor Martinez and artist Enrique Chagoya read, look,
and converse, exploring common themes and motivations across their respective mediums-the written
word and visual art. Victor Martinez won the National Book Award for Literature in 1997 for Parrot in the Oven,
the engaging coming-of-age story of Manny Hernandez, a fourteen-year-old Mexican-American growing up
in Fresno, California. Martinez's poems, short stories, and essays have appeared in such prestigious publications
as Si, El Andar, The Bloomsbury Review, and the High Plains Literary Review. He lives in San Francisco.
Co-presented with students from the Communication Arts and Sciences program at Berkeley High School.
Community Roundtable: Transnational Dialogues: Sustaining Community Across the Border /
Diálogos Transnacionales: Sosteniendo la comunidad a través de la frontera
Sunday, May 4, 3pm, Museum Theater
Continuing migration between Mexico and the United States has created a vast, transnational web of connection
that binds villages and towns throughout Mexico with towns, cities, and regions across the United States. The
impact of this great web is felt every day in thousands of communities on both sides of the border. Without a direct,
lived experience of growing up in Mexico, how does a younger generation of U.S.-born Mexican-Americans experience
and understand these connections? In this program, leaders from local bi-national associations, Mexican-American
students, and UC Berkeley scholars involved in transnational community studies share projects and models designed
to strengthen and sustain these ties. This will be a bilingual program, with translation provided. Spanish-language tours
of Enrique Chagoya: Borderlandia will be available starting at 1 p.m.
Guided Tours
By UC Berkeley graduate students,Thursdays at 12:15 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.
Bilingual and Spanish-language tours available on request. For information, call (510) 642-3072.

Artist's Talk: Xu Bing
Wednesday, March 5, 4pm, Institute for East Asian Studies, 2223 Fulton Street, 6th floor, free admission
Working in a wide range of media, the internationally-acclaimed, Chinese-born artist Xu Bing
creates complex, haunting works that call into question how meaning is communicated through
language. A recipient of the MacArthur "genius" Award who now divides his time between New York
and China, Xu Bing was recently appointed Vice President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing.
Work by Xu Bing, who has been called one of "China's best-known contemporary artists now working
abroad," will be featured in two upcoming exhibits at the Berkeley Art Museum: Mahjong: Contemporary
Chinese Art from the Sigg Collection in Fall 2008 and Rare Art in Spring 2009. Examples of his work
can be viewed at www.xubing.com.
In preparation for an extended residency at the Arts Research Center in Spring 2009, Xu Bing will present
and discuss his work. Xu Bing will be introduced by Lucinda Barnes, Chief Curator and Director of Programs
and Collections at the Berkeley Art Museum.
Co-sponsored by the Arts Research Center, the Berkeley Art Museum, the Center for Chinese Studies, the
Department of History of Art, and the Institute for East Asian Studies.Photos above are (left) a page from
Book from the Sky and (right) a recent photo of the artist, Xu Bing.

Binka: To Tell A Story About Silence and The Attached Balloon
Filmmaker Elka Nikolova in person
Tuesday, March 11, 7-10pm, 2040 Valley Life Sciences Building, free admission
Binka: To Tell a Story About Silence, Director: Elka Nikolova, 2006, 48 min, Color
The Attached Balloon, Director: Binka Zhelyazkova, 1967, 90 min, B&W
At this special session of the Slavic Colloquium, Elka Nikolova will screen and discuss her 2006
documentary about the controversial filmmaker Binka Zhelyazkova, the first female Bulgarian
director and one of the few women anywhere making feature films in the late 1950s. Nikolova
will also screen her personal copy of The Attached Balloon, a rarely-seen Zhelyazkova film that
was banned by the Bulgarian government shortly after opening to great acclaim in 1967. In this
imaginative, touching, and funny film, a lost war-balloon threatens and entices the peasants of a
magically reinvented Bulgarian village during the Second World War. Hoping to capture and tame
the floating beast, the wild peasants chase the balloon in a carnivalesque, irrational pursuit that
explores the boundaries of artistic, political, and social freedom.
Co-sponsored by the Departments of Comparative Literature and Slavic Languages & Literatures and the Institute
of Slavic, East European & Eurasian Studies. Photos: still from The Attached Balloon and portrait of the filmmaker
Binka Zhelyazkova at work.

More than Meets the Eye: the Five Senses in Art
An Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Symposium
Friday, March 14 at 5pm and Saturday, March 15 at 9:30am
Berkeley Language Center, B4 Dwinelle, free admission
The history of art—in all of its periods, cultures, and media—is rich with works that problematize a
simplistic understanding of art as an exclusively visual experience. Organized by students in the
Department of History of Art, this symposium will critically assess the dynamic relations and interrelations
of the senses not only as they materialize within an artwork itself, but also as they pertain to art production,
theory, and criticism. The keynote speaker Friday evening will be Professor Karen Lang (USC), whose
research focuses on aesthetic theory and modern German art. On Saturday, nine graduate student
presentations will be followed by a reception.
