The fall season of
California State University, Fresno’s CineCulture
film series kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 2,
with a screening of the 2004 Golden Globe-winning
“Monsieur Ibrahim.”
The French film (with
English subtitles) will be screened at the Leon S.
and Pete P. Peters Educational Center in the Student
Recreation Center (Woodrow and Shaw avenues).
CineCulture’s series
this fall is comprised of 16 films, 12 on-campus and
four off campus in conjunction with Fresno Filmworks,
whose films are screened at the Tower Theater in the
central Fresno Tower District.
Also part of the
lineup is a lecture by filmmaker Jacob Bender at 6
p.m. Sept. 15 at the Fresno Art Museum. His topic is
“The Real Moor of Venice: the image of Averroes and
Malmonides in Their Time and Ours.” The lecture
precedes the showing the next day (5:30 p.m. Sept.
16 in the Peters Educational Center) of his film
“Out of Cordoba.”
The
documentary film explores conflicts between
religions around the world, through the lives and
writings of two philosophers, Averroes, a Muslim,
and Rabbi Moses Maimonides, a Jew. Bender previously
presented his lecture at the New York Metropolitan
Museum.
The on-campus events
are free and open to the public.

Screen legend Omar Sharif (Lawrence of Arabia and
Doctor Zhivago) stars with film newcomer Pierre
Boulanger in this touching drama set in the mid-60’s
in a bustling neighborhood of Paris. Momo, a lonely
Jewish teenager, strikes an unlikely friendship with
Mr. Ibrahim, an elderly “Arab” widower who owns a
grocery store. A box office success in its native
France, this profoundly moving film was nominated
for several awards, including the 2004 Golden Globe
for Best Foreign Language Film. For his role as Mr.
Ibrahim, Omar Sharif received the Venice
International Film Festival Audience Award (2003)
and a César Award (2004) for Best Actor. Pierre
Boulanger won a Silver Hugo for Best Male
Performance at the Chicago
International Film Festival
(2003). French with English subtitles, rated R (some
sexual content), 96 minutes.
