- Khartoum - Movie 1966 - Citizens allowed to leave the city if they so choose. Government official who stole from the city's food supplies is caught and executed. British intelligence officers (including Major Kitchener) disguised as Arabs discover that gunboat sent with Colonel Stewart aboard did not make it through and that General Gordon is still in Khartoum. General Wolseley orders British troops to head immediately for Khartoum to rescue General Gordon. - Siege of Khartoum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Khartoum Charles George Gordon - Major-General - known as Chinese Gordon, Gordon Pasha, and Gordon of Khartoum, was a British army officer and administrator. He is remembered for his campaigns in China and northern Africa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_George_Gordon Muhammad Ahmad - religious leader, in Sudan, who proclaimed himself the Mahdi - the prophesied redeemer of Islam who will appear at end times - in 1881, and declared a jihad against Egyptian authority in Sudan. He raised an army and led a successful religious war to topple the Egyptian occupation of Sudan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ahmad - Khartoum (film) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khartoum_%28film%29 Khartoum is a 1966 film written by Robert Ardrey and directed by Basil Dearden. The film stars Charlton Heston as General Gordon, with Laurence Olivier as the Mahdi (Mahommed Ahmed), and is based on Gordon's defence of the Sudanese city of Khartoum from the forces of the Mahdist army during the Battle of Khartoum. Khartoum was filmed by cinematographer Ted Scaife in Ultra Panavision 70, and was exhibited in 70 mm Cinerama in premiere engagements. - Plot: The film is about the last months before the British lost their emplacement in Sudan - in theory a subject territory of Egypt - in January 1885. Britain had occupied, but did not formally annex, Egypt in 1883. This is why Gordon, who is technically the "Egyptian" governor of the Sudan, wears a red Egyptian fez. The political origins of the Khartoum affair are unclear. The film postulates a meeting between the Prime Minister, Mr Gladstone (correctly shown wearing a finger-stall to cover a finger lost in a shooting accident as a young man), and other officials, which Gladstone ends by declaring never to have taken place. In a shortened and simplified way the film shows how Khartoum was under siege by the Mahdist army while General Gordon had been planning last strategies before Khartoum fell and he was killed in action. The secret meeting between Gordon and the Mahdi in the Mahdist camp, as portrayed in the film, is entirely fictional. The final shot of Gordon descending a staircase before being speared to death, is based on a famous painting. Major Kitchener, who played a role in Wolseley's relief expedition, was himself later a famous general and commanded the Anglo-Egyptian conquest of the Sudan in 1898. He was known thereafter as Lord Kitchener of Khartoum. - The closing scene: The following words are from the closing scene of the film, spoken by a narrator (Leo Genn): "The relief came two days late. Two days. And for 15 years the Sudanese paid the price with pestilence and famine, the British with shame and war. Within months after Gordon died, the Mahdi died. Why, we shall never know. Gordon rests in his beloved Sudan. We cannot tell how long his memory will live. But there is this: a world with no room for the Gordons is a world that will return to the sands."

Latins in the Borough Art Gallery Cuban artist Pedro Hernandez. Opening reception and Lecture: Saturday April the 12th; 6:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. Exhibiting: "Sense and Sensuality" The drama, scale, and innovation of Hernandez's work and fragile paper cutouts remain without precedent or parallel. He began creating paper collages, known as cutouts, using large scissors, he cut stunning paper shapes and arranged boldly colored paper cutouts into striking and dynamic compositions. His technique involved the freehand cutting of colored papers into beautiful shapes, which he then pinned loosely to the white papers, later adjusting, re-cutting, combining, and recombining them to his satisfaction. The result created an environment that transcended the boundaries of conventional painting, drawing, and sculpture, creating a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing work of art. As Matisse, Hernandez regarded blue as a color expressing volume and distance. The gaps indicating the articulations of the body, while unifying the fragmented parts along the contours, gives the whole the effect of a relief. Lastly, the simplification of the forms recalls the stylization of the body in African sculpture. The body seems to assume form deep inside a limitless space, which gives it a monumental character. Hernandez says: "The paper cutouts allow me to draw with color, it is a simplification. I draw directly in color. It is not a starting point, it is a completion." Pedro Hernandez More at: www.expressiones.net or: Latins in the Borough Art Gallery located at 145 E Water St, Stonington Borough, CT. Winter hours: Wednesday to Sunday : 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Or by appointment calling: 860- 501 7421.
