Sundance Film Festival winner will kick off Spring Film Series

In a world full of barriers, lonely people try desperately to connect with each other through love, art, the Internet, and whatever other means they can think of in Miranda July’s independent film, Me and You and Everyone We know.

Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, the film will kick off the Spring Film Series at Augusta State on Monday, Jan. 23, at 7 p.m. in 170 University Hall.

The second film in January, Belgian crime thriller The Memory of a Killer, is about an aging hit man who is suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. A New York Times critic says, “. . . here is a thriller that asks, "Are men essentially good or do they just sometimes forget to be bad?” The film will premiere at ASU on Monday, Jan. 30, at 7 p.m. in 170 University Hall.

Funded by student activity fees, the film series is a semester-long series of Monday night foreign or independent films. Stevan Clements, Cree-Walker Distinguished Professor of Communications, is the director of the series. Admission is free.
