USI to host German Film Festival featuring five films

0

The University of Southern Indiana College of Liberal Arts and World Languages and Cultures Department will host a German Film Festival on Thursdays beginning February 23 and running through March 30. All films will be shown with English subtitles and will begin at 6 p.m. in Forum I, except for Exile on March 2, which will begin at 7 p.m. These events are open to the public at no charge.

Through the generosity of the Goethe-Institut (Boston, MA) and the assistance of the USI Society for the Arts and Humanities, five films have been selected for the series: Precious Ivie, Exile, The Goldfish, Transit and I’m Your Man.

“German film has an incredibly rich tradition from early expressionist films to the present, despite the impact of historical events throughout the 20th century in Germany from the Nazi time period to the Cold War and the impact of the Berlin Wall,” says Dr. Bartell Berg, USI Associate Professor of German. “Since the fall of the wall in 1990, a new generation of directors has emerged with a multi-cultural perspective that reflects important shifts in German culture. Through the generous support of the German government via the Goethe Institute as well as the support of the College of Liberal Arts, we are excited to offer a series of five recent German films under the topic: “Seeing and Being Seen.” From Christian Petzold’s critically acclaimed 2018 film, Transit, to Maria Schrader’s 2021 film, I’m Your Man, about artificial intelligence, these five German films offer something for everyone.”

Attorney General Todd Rokita invites Hoosiers to search more than their hearts this Valentine’s Day at IndianaUnclaimed.gov

1

Attorney General Todd Rokita invites Hoosiers to visit IndianaUnclaimed.gov today as love fills the air. Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to see what money awaits to sweep you and your loved ones off your feet. 

“Returning unclaimed property to rightful owners is an important part of our mission,” Attorney General Rokita said. “This holiday of love is a great time for Hoosiers to be true to their hearts and start searching.” 

While all states administer unclaimed property programs, Indiana is the only one where the attorney general oversees this function.  

Last year, Attorney General Rokita’s Unclaimed Property Division returned over $62 million to Hoosiers, and you could be the next lucky person to join the list. 

Some property owners in the Unclaimed Property Division’s database include such holiday-appropriate first or last names as Love, Valentine, Rose, and Candy. 

Here are the types of property that might go unclaimed this Valentine’s Day that are even better than a box of chocolates:    

  • Unclaimed wages or commissions 
  • Money orders 
  • Safety deposit box contents 
  • Savings and checking accounts 
  • Refunds 
  • Overpayments such as:  
    • Credit card balances  
    • Cell phone bills 
    • DMV payments 

Once unclaimed property is in its custody, the Unclaimed Property Division conducts an aggressive outreach effort to locate the rightful owners or heirs.   

Individuals and/or businesses have 25 years in which to claim money once it is reported to the Unclaimed Property Division.   

 

So be sure to check IndianaUnclaimed.gov or text CLAIM to 46220 to search your name, family, or business.  

 

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO EVERYONE !
