The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy Film Series
Presents a screening of:
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
Followed by a discussion with
Josh Rubenstein, Northeast Regional Director of Amnesty International USA,
expert on Soviet Affairs.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novel about brutal individual survival in a
Russian labor camp in the 1950s is brought to the screen in this stark and
spare adaptation by director Caspar Wrede, writer Ronald Harwood, and
cinematographer Sven Nykvist. Tom Courtenay is Ivan, who is a prisoner in
the eighth year of a ten-year sentence at a Siberian labor camp. Ivan's day
consists of small accomplishments that enable Ivan to retain his humanity
during conditions of extreme oppression -- he does not get sick, he grabs
an extra smoke, he discovers a saw, and he helps to work on a concrete
wall. When he prepares for sleep, Ivan is contented that the guards have
not beaten him and that he has gotten through the day in one piece. And
tomorrow morning, Ivan must start all over again.

Dear Davis Center Associates, Faculty, Students, and Staff:
The University Library Council has approved a one-year pilot project
which allows library users to request circulating items from the Harvard
Depository to be delivered to participating libraries. Fung Library is
one of those participating libraries. If you wish to have items you
request from the depository delivered to Fung, please choose Fung
Library from the drop-down menu that you are shown on the request page
through HOLLIS. You will receive a notice when it is ready to be picked
up at Fung. You can expect about a 24-hour turnaround. I encourage
all of you to use this service!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks,
Sue
