Celebrating Charter Day
On April 27, 1865, the governor of New York State signed the bill that officially established Cornell University's charter. Now, 150 years later, the university will commemorate this day in its history–the day that defined its land-grant mission and set the stage for generations of Cornellians to help, to solve, and to transform the world.
There will be a ceremony in Barton Hall from 10 a.m. to noon Monday. The event is free and open to the public, but space is limited to first-come, first served.

Cornell Cinema to host Argentine filmmaker, premieres Ukrainian doc
Cornell Cinema welcomes Argentine filmmaker Martin Rejtman at 6:45 p.m. Thursday with his feature film, "Two Shots Fired" ("Dos disparos"). Rejtman is visiting several universities, including Harvard and Cornell, en route to the San Francisco International Film Festival to present the film, which had its U.S. premiere at the New York Film Festival in the fall.
The film centers on Mariano, a teenager who finds himself at home one afternoon, discovers a gun, and impulsively shoots himself, twice. Miraculously, he survives, but is unable to offer any explanation for his act. "It was hot," he says. The film then follows the random, and at times even hilarious, aftermath of the event, not exactly a causal chain of events, but more an "unraveling," according to writer/director Rejtman, who was born in Buenos Aires, but studied film at NYU before returning to Argentina and becoming an award-winning producer, director and screenwriter. He is known as the "godfather" of the New Argentine Cinema and works in a minimalist style, with a deadpan, near adsurdist, sensibility.
Cornell Cinema also will premiere "Maïdan," a documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa, who was born in Belarus and raised in Ukraine, at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The film is about the uprising that toppled the government of Ukrainian president Victor Yanukovich and has since developed into an international crisis between Russia and the West. Filmed in stunning long takes, without commentary, "Maïdan" is a record of a momentous historical event and an extraordinary study of the popular uprising as a social, cultural and philosophical phenomenon
Both films will screen in Willard Straight Theatre. For more information, including ticket prices and parking suggestions, visit cinema.cornell.edu or call 255-3522.
