Film rediscovers lost culture

·

Film culture can oftentimes be lost, buried in the proverbial rubble as the years pass and the memory of the films deteriorate with every proceeding generation. The IU DEFA Project, which began in January, seeks to promote the rediscovery of films that have been forgotten, but especially to commemorate the tumultuous year from 1989 to 1990 and the end of the Cold War Era, said Brigitta Wagner, director of the project.

At this point in the 2010 season, the IU baseball team hoped to have its anticipated preseason pitching ace on the mound, winning games and leading an undermanned pitching staff. Instead, sophomore Blake Monar hasn’t started on the rubber since the season’s first game in February at San Diego due to a strained rotator cuff. He’s played sparingly since as a pinch hitter for the Hoosiers.

We scoured the OneStart classified ads to find creative sales pitches and the people behind them. Our stuff tells a story.

In January, his brothers left him a voicemail with difficult news: his mother had passed away. He hadn’t seen her since he left home in 2004. A few weeks later, we asked him how he coped with the loss.



Sean and grandfather

Facing their wall

·

My grandfather never went to the Wall. A Vietnam War veteran, he never pressed his hand to the black granite monument and felt the grooved indents of 58,261 names. He couldn’t bring himself to do it, so I did it for him. I drove 650 miles to confront the loss — his and mine.


Get lost.

Get lost

Bloomington straddles the fencepost between woodsy wilderness and hip college campus – think impractical, tight-fitting flannel. If you ever lock your keys in the car while parked at Bradford Woods, you’ll want to know which berries to eat.
