Archaeology Film Screening: La Chimera
Please join the local AIA (Archaeological Institute of America) chapter for a screening of the award-winning film La Chimera (2023). A masterpiece of magical realism, this independent film (written and directed by Alice Rohrwacher) will take viewers on a journey through multiple afterlives... the ancient erupting through the modern.
The fable follows a rumpled English archaeologist named Arthur, and his merry, wayward crew of tombaroli -- who survive by looting ancient Etruscan tombs. Yet there are larger quests involved. They are at once mythic, illusory, and unobtainable, and they bring into collision the worlds of antiquities-trafficking, the priceless-priced, and the search for lost love.
There will be an informal reception with popcorn, cookies, and non-alcoholic beverages at 5:30 pm. The film will begin at 6 pm, followed by another opportunity to mingle and converse.
This event is free and open to the public. Brought to you by the Whitman College History Department.
