It (Clarence G. Badger, United States, 1927; 72 minutes) In this silent film that defined the career of Clara Bow and launched the phenomenon of the flapper, Bow, as shopgirl Betty Lou, is a young woman with plenty of "it" (i.e., sex appeal). She has designs on Cyrus Waltham, the handsome owner of the department store where she works. Camouflaging herself as attracted to Waltham's friend Monty, she accepts a date, under the condition that they dine at the Ritz, where Waltham also has a dinner engagement that evening. The plan works, and Waltham falls under her spell, until a misunderstanding sends things awry. With live jazz music performed by Fe Nunn and friends; copresented by the Ithaca Motion Picture Project. (Friday, April 4, 7:00 p.m., Cinemapolis)
The Last Conquistador (John Valadez, United States, 2008; 60 minutes) A world-famous sculptor builds the largest statue of its kind ever created in human history, but Native Americans believe it is a monument to genocide and white supremacy. Literally caught in between are the people of El Paso, Texas, where the statue is being constructed. They are the conflicted sons and daughters of both the Native Americans who were enslaved and the Spanish who brutalized them. Protests, conflicting versions of history, and an artist's quixotic quest transform this isolated border town in unexpected ways. With director John Valadez. (Sunday, April 6, 2:00 p.m., Cinemapolis)
