DFS film series to feature tourists, spies and singing sailors

June 29, 2009

Courtesy of rottentomatoes.com This winter, as Hollywood film moguls were busy cramming their summer release schedules with the usual American-friendly franchise reboots, blockbuster action flicks and raunchy comedies, the members of the Dartmouth Film Society chose to forego such conventional apple-pie flicks in favor of a more worldly collection of films. The DFS summer series, "Tourists," proposed by Lloyd Miller '10, plays off of the intricate and sometimes tenuous relationships that travelers establish with the foreign places they encounter.

Hop raises ticket prices, cuts programs for the coming year

By ETHAN Weinberg | June 1, 2009

The Hopkins Center for the Arts plans to raise ticket prices, cut back on commissioned works and reevaluate its long-term strategic plans, including its stake in Dartmouth's proposed Visual Arts Center, in light of College-wide budget cuts and a possible downturn in individual donations, according to Hop director Jeff James. "We, the Hop, have more reasons to be concerned than a lot of other players because we rely on ticket sales and donations, and those are the things we are spending the most time thinking about how to protect," James said. As a result of the economic downturn, the Hop intends to raise its student ticket prices from $5 to $10 for performances by visiting artists, from $3 to $5 for student performances, and from $12 to $15 for Dartmouth Film Society's film series passes. It will be the first price increase for the Hop in eight or nine years, according to James.

Taking the audience from tears to laughs, the Frost showcase began with the dramatic and deeply emotional "The Minute Hand" by Liz Ellison '09, which was followed by the hilarious, over-the-top "Tennessee Sabotage" by Danny Rangel '09. In writing "The Minute Hand," Ellison, an English and theater double major, said she drew inspiration from unsolved missing person cases. "It's the most terrifying experience I can imagine," Ellison said.

Originally founded in 1991, DTV was discontinued after one year due to a lack of audience and poor management, The Dartmouth previously reported The channel later made a return in 1999, broadcasting digital content using a specialized computer program.

HEAR AND NOW: Star Dreck

By Rebecca Wall | May 18, 2009

Courtesy of Amazon.com Despite a substantial cult following and widespread acclaim for his work in innumerable Priceline.com advertising campaigns, one must admit that William Shatner's career is light years away from its heyday when Shatner was on the Starship Enterprise. It would seem that he has been too busy cultivating his music career to care about the widely hailed new "Star Trek" film. Yes, you read that right.
