Screening of Body Parts
Wednesday, March 15, 7:00-9:15 p.m., Room - Ellis Auditorium, Petaluma
Campus In this incisive, clip-rich documentary, Kristy Guevara-Flanagan traces the evolution of sex on screen and the dominance of the heterosexual male gaze. Featuring candid interviews with industry insiders from Jane Fonda to Rosanna Arquette, the film is both an exposé on the frequent perils of being female in Hollywood as well as a clarion call for employing intimacy coordinators across the industry. Body Parts demystifies the often invisible process of creating intimacy for film and television and sheds light on some of the most closely guarded secrets of an industry now at a crossroads. This film is presented in cooperation with the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival, taking place March 16-20, 2023. Producer Helen Hood Scheer will be in conversation at the screening. 86 mins.

“A Maid Came Free:” From Sighting to Citing in Tracy Chevalier’s Girl with a Pearl Earring
Thursday, March 30, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Zoom Link: https://santarosa-edu.zoom.us/j/87382463232
Tracy Chevalier’s ekphrastic novel Girl with a Pearl Earring explores the relationship between literature and art, as it narrates Jan Vermeer’s paintings from the perspective of the story’s narrator, Griet, who works as a maid in the Vermeers’s house. In her fictional account, Griet gradually becomes the painter’s assistant as well as his model, and subverts the gender issues in ekphrasis; the silent and gazed-upon female image in the eponymous painting gains a voice to critique Vermeer’s art. In this presentation, Prof. Dr. Ozlem Uzundemir from Cankaya University, Turkiye will explore Griet’s transformation from a young maid into an art critic with respect to the issues in painting, namely color, light, and realistic representation, as well as the paragon between the viewing subject and the viewed object in ekphrasis.
