 DIRECTORIAL MASTERS
This continuing series will showcase the cinema masterworks of some of the most thoughtful and influential directors in recent decades. Both Stanley Kubrick (UK/USA) and Terence Malick (USA) figure amongst cinema's most unique stylists and each has produced milestone works in twentieth century film culture. Kubrick's work ranges from early masterpieces like Spartacus to rarely seen iconic titles like A Clockwork Orange and the classic war film Paths of Glory. Malick's recent blockbuster The Tree of Life has piqued interest in his earlier visionary works.

Cinema Essentials | |
 INGMAR BERGMAN
This is the first in a continuing series of sustained explorations of the masterworks of modern cinema. Delving deep into the entire vision of some of cinema's greatest directors, the series starts with the essential masterpieces of Sweden's Ingmar Bergman. From his early, lyrical character studies to the dramatic sweep of his penetrating epics, Bergman's vision and style remains unmistakable and fresh today.

Persona
A young nurse is summoned to care for a stage actress who has become mute. A minimalist film; the imagery is dominated by extreme contrast of lighting, simple costumes, hairstyles, and no make-up. Bergman wrote Persona during nine weeks while recovering from pneumonia and credits this film to being one of his most important - saving his life and career. It is considered one of the major works of the 20th century by essayists and critics.

Rothko's Rooms
In the late 1940's and 50's, Mark Rothko was one of the leading American artists who created wall-scale abstract paintings that filled the viewer's field of vision and became a form of environment. Rothko spoke of wanting the spectator to feel inside the pictorial space, enveloped in his canvases' color and surfaces.
