Movie will be shown in the Rathskeller, the large room around the corner from the Community Room where we normally meet. It's opposite the vending machines.
Program will be a video on cloisonnism.
Cloisonnism is a style of post-Impressionist painting with bold and flat forms separated by dark contours. The term was coined by critic Édouard Dujardin on the occasion of the Salon des Indépendants, in March 1888.
For example:

Émile Bernard, Breton Women in the Meadow,  August 1888.
