Named "Best Film Made in New York" at the Tribeca Film Festival, The Treatment is the debut fiction feature from a well-known director of documentaries. Rudavsky last visited the Wexner Center in 2004 to introduce his film Hiding and Seeking; he is also the director of A Life Apart: Hasidism in America (1997). The story, based on the novel by Daniel Menaker, follows an emotionally paralyzed young teacher who seeks help from a maniacal Argentine Freudian therapist after breaking up with his girlfriend. While he tries to fend off his therapist-from-Hell, the young man’s life becomes even more complicated after he meets a socialite widow who introduces him to Manhattan’s upwardly mobile circles. Starring Ian Holm, Famke Janssen, and Chris Eigeman. (86 mins., 35mm) Join us after the film at a casual reception in the café area. Wexner Center and Melton Center members are also invited to come early for a private reception with the filmmaker from 1 to 2 PM. Cosponsored by Ohio State’s Melton Center for Jewish Studies.

France and the Soviet Union come to life in these two Janus Films. The film that brought Agnès Varda international recognition, Cleo from 5 to 7 depicts two hours in the life of a singer as she waits to learn if she has cancer. A classic of the French New Wave, the film was shot on the streets of Paris and features a score by Michel Legrand. (90 mins., 35mm) A landmark of Soviet cinema, The Cranes Are Flying tells the story of two lovers separated by World War II. The film's visual flourishes and grim portrayal of life during the war reflected a level of artistic freedom not possible during the Stalin era. (95 mins., 35mm) Second film start time: 8:40 PM. Special offer: Bring your ticket stub from any Summer Abroad film to the Surly Girl Saloon in the Short North this summer and receive a 15% discount on food purchases (Sun-Thu). You can also sample cool cocktails inspired by these movies.

This program, which offers free admission and is open to all, will highlight throat singing, an artful style of the Inner Asian steppe. The performers are extraordinarily young and talented musicians who've won several awards and have traveled from Tuva (Russian Federation, near Mongolia) to tour in the U.S. this spring. Sean Quirk, the group's manager and interpreter, will offer a brief discussion about throat singing and Tuvan traditional music. For more information visit: http://fcaravan.org.ohio-state.edu/EVENTS/events.htm Throat singing, which is also part of the music of nearby regions in Mongolia and the Altai, developed among Tuva's semi-nomadic herders. Because throat singing produces a musical sound that carries over long distances, the music became a way for shepherds, yak herders and horsemen to entertain each other and communicate across vast areas of steppes and taiga. (The taiga is a mountainous, forested area of Tuva.) Throat singers use their voices to create the sounds of the natural world. The sounds of whistling birds, bubbling streams, howling wolves and blowing wind are often incorporated into the music. Because the horse is such an integral part of Tuvan culture, many songs are performed to a rhythm that mimics the beat of a horse cantering across the wild, open land. The music also is closely tied to Tuvan spiritual beliefs. Tuva is a small Russian Republic, in eastern Siberia, bordering Mongolia. At various times in history, the area has been part of Manchuria and Mongolia, and became part of the Soviet Union 60 years ago. The Alash Ensemble from Tuva toured North America for the first time in the spring of 2006 through the Open World Leadership Program of the Library of Congress. The group has also recently released its first U.S. CD, "Alash Live at the Enchanted Garden." The Alash Ensemble was founded in 1999 in the basement of the Kyzyl Arts College in Tuva's capital city. The group, originally known as Changy-Xaya, became the resident traditional ensemble at the school. The group learned more about traditional Tuvan music from the well-known master Xoomeizhi (throat singer) Kongar-ool Ondar, but they also began to learn about Western classical music and such concepts as harmony, theory and staff notation. The members of Alash perform on traditional Tuvan instruments as well as hybrids of Tuvan instruments and violins and cellos. They find these Western instruments appealing, and have begun exploring the new sound worlds that have arisen from their unique, dual musical consciousness. The group members are Bady-Dorzhu Ondar with vocals, igil, and doshpuluur; Ayan-ool Sam with guitar, vocals, doshpuluur, chanzy, and igil; Mai-ool Sedip with vocals, byzaanchy, and limpi; Ayan Shirizhik with vocals, murgu, shoor, kengirge, xapchyk, and dunggur; and Sergei Sotpa --vocals, igil, shoor, limpi, xomus, instrument-master. Sean Quirk is the group's interpreter and manager. The group's artistic direction is taken up by the well-known master of throat singing, Kongar-ool Ondar.
