Title: Ojibwe: One of Minnesota’s First Languages Makes a Comeback
Body: From http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/news/2010/10/30/one-minnesota%E2%80%99s-first-languages-makes-comeback One of Minnesota’s first languages makes a comeback By Lisa Steinmann October 31, 2010 It was a wild and windy evening, but a crowd of about 60 people turned out for a preview of a documentary about the rescue and revitalization of the Ojibwe language at the Anishinaabe School in Minneapolis on October 26. Many of those in attendance were members of the Ojibwe community who are active in local language education programs. The film, First Speakers: Restoring the Ojibwe Language, is a production of Twin Cities Public Television and will have its debut on November 1 at 8 p.m. on TPT 2. The Ojibwe language is one of the world's imperiled languages. According to program notes for the film, a language is lost every fourteen days. One of the main reasons the Ojibwe language and many other indigenous languages throughout North America have nearly disappeared is rooted in early U.S. policy of assimilating American Indians. At residential schools, whole generations of children were forbidden to speak in any language other than English. The damage to language, culture and family life has been profound.

Title: Zimmerli Art Museum presents The Russian Concept: Reflections on Russian Nonconformist Art

This documentary, produced and directed by Igor Sopronenko, explores art that was created in resistance to the government- imposed style of Socialist Realism from the 1950s to the 1980s. The film tells the fascinating story of art collector Norton Dodge, who was on a quest to preserve forbidden forms of art which explored creative possibilities under a repressive regime. Thanks to Mr. Dodge, the Zimmerli now holds the largest and most comprehensive collection of Soviet underground art in the world. The film presents video interviews with some of the key underground artists who now live in the United States, including Vitaly Komar, Aleksander Kosolapov, Leonid Sokov, Vagrich Bakhchanyan, Oleg Vassiliev, Leonid Lamm, and Victor Skersis. The film also features interviews with leading scholars and curators in the field, including Jane Sharp, Mary Nicholas, Gerald Janecek , Alla Rosenfeld, and Andrei Erofeev. The film is followed by a roundtable discussion on nonconformist and contemporary Russian art, and issues of freedom and censorship. The participants include film director Igor Sopronenko, artists Vitaly Komar and Victor Skersis. The moderator is Jane Sharp, research curator of the Dodge Collection.
