Professor Picks: "8 1/2", Princeton Garden Theater

Wednesday September 20, 2023
7:00 PM

This surreal tale — part autofiction, part reflection on filmmaking itself — is driven by Marcello Mastroianni’s performance as an Italian film director who retreats to a spa resort to search his memories for inspiration for his next project while navigating both the pressures of working as a high-profile director and the complications of his fraught romantic life. Post-film discussion led by Gaetana Marrone-Puglia, a professor in and associate chair of Princeton University's Department of French and Italian. $13.50.

160 Nassau Street, Princeton, 609-279-1999. www.thegardentheatre.com.

Zionism: An Emotional State, The Ruth and Alvin Rockoff Annual Lecture

Wednesday September 20, 2023
7:30 PM

Emotion lies at the heart of all national movements, and Zionism is no exception. Derek Penslar will discuss his new book, Zionism: An Emotional State, which explores how the Zionist movement originated from complex feelings that varied in volume, intensity, and durability across different regions and historical moments. The resulting portrait of Zionism reconfigures how we understand Jewish identity amid continuing debates on the role of nationalism in the modern world. Presented by the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life at Rutgers University, the talk is free and open to the public and will be held at the Douglass Student Center, 100 George Street, New Brunswick.
