IMC Nov. feature - Russian film

Q.  What’s black and white and red all over?

A.  The movie poster for every Russian film ever made.

While their posters suffer from a prescribed trifecta of color, the content and history of Russian cinema are as storied and varied as they come. Check out these for starters.

New Library Exhibit

Ink in Hand: Early Manuscript Documents 11th – 18th Centuries
August – November 2009
This exhibit displays early handwritten forms in documents and books that help illuminate the development of writing in Europe. From the pens of scribes, religious men, and commercial paymasters, these documents demonstrate the broad variety of topics now available for study from religious subjects to legal agreements, and even work records. The library’s collection of early manuscripts was founded by Lloyd Reynolds, a well-known calligrapher and professor of art, and added to by Steven Herold ’63 and other donors.
