(11/28, Sat 2PM) The Last of the Mohicans (UMFA)
The Last of the Mohicans
Free Screening at the UMFA on 11/28 at 2 pm
What:
This Thanksgiving weekend, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts is pleased to present a free screening of the epic 1992 film, The Last of the Mohicans. This event will be free and open to the public, and is the last screening in a free film series presented in conjunction with the Splendid Heritage: Perspectives on American Indian Art exhibition. An introduction and post-film discussion will be given by Splendid Heritage Co-curator Bernadette Brown. This film is rated R for violence.
When:
Saturday, November 28 at 2 pm
Where:
UTAH MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS
University of Utah
Marcia and John Price Museum Building
Katherine W. and Ezekiel R. Dumke, Jr. Auditorium
410 Campus Center Drive
Salt Lake City, UT 84102
Why:
The powerful experiences and culture of American Indians will be explored through a free film and lecture series at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Selected by UMFA curators of education, these films were scheduled to provide visitors with diverse perspectives on the ways in which American Indian artworks express cultural knowledge, biographical occurrences, historical experiences and spirituality.
Set in 1757 when the British and French are battling for control of North America, this epic film is a loose adaption of James Fenimore Cooper’s classic novel by the same title. The story follows orphaned trapper Hawkeye (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) and his adoptive Mohawk family as they attempt to escort a British officer’s daughters to Fort William Henry, landing them in the midst of the brutal French and Indian War. Lush romances and fierce battle scenes unfold against the breathtaking background of the wild American landscape, skillfully fusing elements of action, western, war, and romance genres into one sincere and entertaining package. Directed by Michael Mann, this film is rated R for violence and may not be suitable for all audiences.
The exhibition Splendid Heritage: Perspectives on American Indian Art features more than 140 artistic and cultural treasures from the private collection of John and Marva Warnock. Many of the objects are on public display for the first time and include 18th and 19th century masterworks such as beaded pipe bags, weapons, dolls, cradles, war shirts and moccasins. Splendid Heritage examines American Indian objects as both works of art and items of cultural importance—bringing to light the fascinating intersection of culture and art.
