"Derrida" (2002, color, 90 min.)
7:30 p.m., University of Richmond, Jepson Hall 118, Free Admission

Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering Kofman's documentary on the late Jacques Derrida explores the overlapping zones between the life and thought of a major thinker as he speaks of time, forgiveness, the body and deconstruction. The filmmakers' surprisingly light and candid approach is subtly balanced by the charming host/subject, who can't resist analyzing himself through their camera-eyes. Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times, called it "the cinematic equivalent of a mind-expanding drug." The audience is invited to stay for a discussion after the film led by Dr. Gary Shapiro, Department of Philosophy, University of Richmond. Co-sponsored by the Department of Philosophy and the Media Resource Center of Boatwright Library, University of Richmond.
