PANEL
DISCUSSION ON REPRESENTATIONS OF VIOLENCE IN THE CINEMA: Coral Gables Art
Cinema, Books & Books, and the Center for the Humanities in an Urban
Environment (CHUE), FIU, will co-sponsor a lively panel discussion on
representations of violence in the cinema. Panelists include Phillip Church, Theater Department, FIU; Lucas Leyva,
filmmaker and founder of the Borscht Film Festival; Robert Rosenberg, Director, Coral Gables Art Cinema, Barbara Weitz, Director of Film
Studies, FIU, and other guests to be announced. The panel will be moderated by
Michael Patrick Gillespie,

one's viewing experience, the limits, if any, that should be imposed on
representations of violence, and the responsibilities of filmmakers who
integrate representations of violence into their work. The event is free
and open to the public. The
panel is being held concurrently with the run of the French film RUST AND
BONE, which opens January 11 at the Gables Cinema, and contains scenes of
