A mournful, slow-burn portrayal of a tough, diligent army sergeant undone by his homosexuality and the unforgiving machismo of military life.Join us in the Scott Room for a screening and discussion of the 1968 military drama The Sergeant. Directed by John Flynn and written by Dennis Murphy, The Sergeant tells the story of Master Sergeant Albert Callan (Rod Steiger), a decorated war veteran posted in France in the early 1950s. Finding the depot disorganized under the command of the undisiplined Captain Loring (Frank Latimore), Sergeant Callan quickly takes charge in a tough, no-nonsense manner and restores order. But Callan finds himself discomforted by a growing attraction to one of his men, Private First Class Thomas Swanson (John Phillip Law), and falls into confusion and depression. The film builds to a tragic end with a frank, sympathetic sensibility.Please note that The Sergeant may not be suitable for all audiences, with on-screen depictions of violence and mild sexuality.This film is part of our celebration of Pride Month, showcasing queer stories and the LGBTQ+ actors, screenwriters, and directors, historical and contemporary, who contributed to American cinema. Light refreshments will be served during the film.

"Character is the fingerprint of your soul" - Frank Sonnenberg.Please join Nancy Zachary in the Scott Room to discuss Stay True by Hua Hsu."A stunning, intricate memoir about friendship, grief, and memory. A Taiwanese American writer remembers an intimate but unexpected college friendship cut short by tragedy.Hsu, an English professor and staff writer at the New Yorker, began his undergraduate years at Berkeley with the intention of cultivating an alternative, punk persona consistent with his love of indie bands and his obsession with creating zines. ... Consequently, when he first met Japanese American fraternity brother Ken, he wrote him off as “a genre of person I actively avoided—mainstream.” As they got to know each other, to Hsu’s surprise, he and Ken grew very close. ... Then, one night, Ken was killed in a carjacking, abruptly truncating a relationship that Hsu thought would last forever and sending him into a spiral of grief and self-blame that lasted for years. This memoir is masterfully structured and exquisitely written. Hsu’s voice shimmers with tenderness and vulnerability as he meticulously reconstructs his memories of a nurturing, compassionate friendship. The protagonists’ Asian American identities are nuanced, never serving as the defining element of the story, and the author creates a cast of gorgeously balanced characters."- Kirkus.

Join Marcus Renna in the Scott Room for a screening and discussion of 1955 romantic comedy The Seven Year Itch. Directed by Billy Wilder, who also co-wrote the screenplay with George Axelrod, the playwright behind the 1952 play of the same name, and starring Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell, The Seven Year Itch popularized the idiom of a waning interest in monogamy after seven years of marriage.Richard Sherman (Ewell) is a middle aged publishing executive in New York and about to travel to Maine to meet his wife Helen (Evelyn Keyes) and son Ricky when he runs into an unnamed woman (Monroe). The woman, a small-time actress and model (at one point in the film Sherman sarcastically suggests she looks like Marilyn Monroe), unknowingly fuels Sherman's fantasies of seduction and infidelity, especially after he reads a manuscript by psychologist Dr. Brubaker that all men are driven to extra-marital affairs in the seventh year of marriage.
