Doors open at 6:30pm Immanuel is a winsome collection of folk-pop songs, with nine originals and one classic carol retelling the Christmas story through the perspective of the angels and people who lived through it -- Mary, Joseph, The Wise Men, The Innkeeper, and even The Star of Bethlehem -- in a compelling and deeply human way. Melanie Penn is a songwriter at the crossroads of faith and culture. After studying classical voice, she moved to New York City and pursued musical theater where she enjoyed several years as a mainstay in the theatre scene, most notably playing Sandy on the Broadway national tour of Grease! starring Frankie Avalon. Penn then started writing songs. Her first singer-songwriter album was called Wake Up Love (2010), and was met with unexpected critical acclaim. Five more albums followed in continued collaboration with Shive: Hope Tonight (2015); Immanuel (2017); Immanuel: The Folk Sessions (2019) and More Alive Vol. I and Vol. 2 (2020/2022). The Immanuel project, Melanie’s songwriting journey through the Christmas story, was called a songwriting tour de force by Christian and mainstream press. It reached No. 1 on Amazon’s Christian, Worship and Holiday Download charts. Melanie is also a worship leader and served at Redeemer Presbyterian Church under the leadership of author and theologian Tim Keller. Information Source: InSpero Community | eventbrite

The women of France have worked in multiple roles of the film industry since its earliest days in the 1890s and 1900s, as they have around the world. But the role of director – often referred to as auteur since the 1950s when François Truffaut polemically promoted the term – eluded them in significant numbers until the 1970s, when feminist actions of the post-1968 period put women decisively on the film-making map. The campaign for parity of gender in numbers of directors now called the Collectif 50:50is just one element of a picture that includes the rise to worldwide prominence of filmmakers like queer feminist Céline Sciamma, director of Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019), and the maker of 2023’s Cannes film festival Golden Palm winner Anatomy of a Fall Justine Triet. This lecture will trace the origins of contemporary Francophone women’s filmmaking in the turbulent 1990s, give an overview of some key films made by its leading practitioners of the early twenty-first century, and offer analyses of its principal themes and characteristics: 130 years after cinema began, what does Francophone women’s filmmaking, one of the world’s most thrilling and cutting-edge cinemas in the world, look like? naugural lectures are a landmark in academic life, held on the appointment of new professorships.
