- **Event Description**: A special screening of Margreth Olin's poetic masterpiece Songs of Earth, selected by award-winning author Rebecca Solnit.About this EventCo-presented with The Roxie and ZYZZYVARebecca Solnit is a writer whose stunning breadth of spirit and mind has inspired and enlightened generations. As part of the Roxie’s Fiftieth Anniversary, Solnit, who has been coming to the Roxie for its whole life, calls herself such a rare thing as a longtime fan. For Movie Night, Solnit introduces Songs of Earth, a poetic, unspeakably beautiful film by director Margreth Olin, executive produced by Liv Ullman and Wim Wenders.On the screen, the great scale of majestic fjord rural landscape, which Olin’s father sets to love deeply through all seasons, is interwoven with the minute scale of human history—the tale of impoverished, rugged farmers in the region and the couple’s own marriage.In Rebecca Solnit’s latest book, The Beginning Comes After the End, the author plays with timescale in similar ways. In this sequel to her enduring bestseller Hope in the Dark, Solnit writes into the macro-scale of the last 65 years of social progress, and what this progress means now. “In her telling,” says the New York Times, “the current rise of authoritarianism is the dying gasp of an old world order, and we are on the precipice of living in a multicultural and interconnected world.”ZYZZYVA Movie Night was created and is produced by Ingrid Rojas Contreras.
