All Cinéphile Sunday films screen at 3:00 PM in Collins Cinema, Wellesley College.

Since its earliest days, cinema has cut the human subject free of its moorings; Siegfried Kracauer saw in certain films an “unhappy homeless soul [moving] like a stranger through the world of normal reality.”  The image of wandering souls haunts us, and so we pursue these lost souls throughout our spring film series—from past to present, from earth to space, from fiction to science fiction, from memory to magic…souls wandering through the universe of film.
