PALMTN Davis Auditorium: Public lecture, "From Underground to Independent: Filmmaking in Reform Era China" by Paul Pickowicz, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History and Chinese Studies, University of California, San Diego. Is it true that all movies made in early 21st century China were produced by government filmmakers? Not true. This presentation introduces stunning live action and documentary films made by independent, non-state sector artists at the start of the 21st century. Topics include new migration patterns, identity politics, and social protest. Among other things, these filmmakers tried their best to push viewers out of their comfort zones. This event is sponsored by Central Humanities New York Corridor, History Department, and Asian Studies at Skidmore College. Free and open to the public.

Palamountain Hall Emerson Auditorium: The conspiracy theory that society is controlled by shape-shifting lizard people dates back to the 1929 story "The Shadow Kingdom" by Robert E. Howard. Since then, the theory has led to several murders, suicides, bombings, and other crimes. This talk will discuss the secret history of this strange idea and interpret its appeal.
