  • Location: Lincoln Plaza Cinema and IFC Center
  • Description:

    Strand Releasing is pleased to announce the US release of BEING 17, acclaimed French director André Téchiné (Wild Reeds, Thieves)’s moving exploration of adolescent sexual awakening, with a script co-written by director Céline Sciamma (Girlhood), starring the great Sandrine Kiberlain (Mademoiselle Chambon,) Kacey Mottet Klein (Sister, Gainsbourg), Corentin Fila, and Alexis Loret. BEING 17 is scheduled to open on Friday, October 7 in New York at Lincoln Plaza Cinema and IFC Center followed by a national release.

    Unfolding over four seasons in the arresting, mountainous setting of the French Pyrénées, BEING 17 is the story of Damien (Mr. Mottet Klein) and Thomas (Mr. Fila,) two French teenagers from very different upbringings who go to the same high school but are constantly fighting. When family circumstances bring Damien’s mother, Marianne (Ms. Kiberlain) to invite Thomas to live with them, the young men are forced to coexist and work through their emerging and complicated desires.

  • Location: Cloud City
  • Description:

    Helps To Hate You a Little: a Lovestory 

    is a tragic farce that unfolds in and underneath New York City. It's Persephone but with more kink. It's Wuthering Heights without the death scene, and with a better soundtrack. It’s Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, if Bill and Ted were two dykes in love and Ted had an unsuspecting boyfriend. Helps to Hate You a Little incorporates BDSM, shapeshifting, the absurd, and mixtapes in order to interrogate questions of belonging and foreignness. Bring your friends, bring your lovers, bring your sidepiece on a different night.

  • Beyond the Secular State: Secularism, Empire, Hegemony

  • Nov 14, 2016 from 1:15pm to 3:15pm
  • Location: Columbia Law School
  • Description:
    Beyond the Secular State: Secularism, Empire, Hegemony
    A roundtable conversation with Talal Asad, Etienne Balibar, and Mohamed Amer-Meziane
    According to critiques, secularism is more exclusionary than emancipative. French secularism
    (laïcité) and its current relation to Muslims is widely considered as the paradigmatic example.
    But secularists often claim that such exclusions are not "really secular" and distort the truth of
    secularism. Their claim is given credit by the attacks against the idea of secularization emanating
    from “fundamentalist” religious discourses, some of which are violent indeed. However, seen
    from outside the Eurocentric West, this defense of secularism would be more convincing if
    secularists displayed a greater capacity to criticize their own tradition. This roundtable discussion will examine these questions from a genealogical, philosophical, and political
    perspective.
    Talal Asad is a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at CUNY; Etienne Balibar is currently a Visiting P
