FROM TEXAS TO MONGOLIA
Tonight at 5:30 p.m. see the movie The Horse Boy, which The New York Times calls, "astonishingly intimate." A 2009 Sundance Film Festival official selection, The Horse Boy is the story of a couple from Texas who have a young son with autism. In search of peace for their son and family, the three travel across the wilderness of Mongolia. The film is $7.50 at the Hamilton Movie Theater and will also be playing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening at 5:30 p.m.

SLEEPOVER IN WOMEN'S STUDIES
Sleep over in the Center for Women's Studies on Friday night with S.O.R.T. or just stop by anytime after 5 p.m. to take part in "A night of Sisterly Love," just one of many events taking place during Africana Women's Week. There will be food, movies, games, conversation and even some spa treatments.

BALLOON ON FILM
As part of the Friday Night 35mm Film Series, Flight of the Red Balloon will be playing in Little Hall's Golden Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow night. The film, which is inspired by Albert Lamorisse's 1956 classic, The Red Balloon, focuses on a single mother living in Paris, who hires a Chinese student as the nanny of her two children. Impressionistic and complex on both visual and narrative levels, Flight of the Red Balloon creates a world that is happy and sad, through which a red balloon sometimes floats.

MUSIC ON MULTIPLE FLOORS
Enjoy a free, three- floor music and entertainment event in the Harlem Renaissance Center beginning at 11 p.m. on Saturday and extending into Sunday morning. Multiple D.J.'s will be playing a variety of styles of music. Refreshments will be served.

SOUNDS OF IMAGES AND IMPRESSIONS
The Colgate Chamber Players will be performing again this Sunday at 3:30 p.m. in Memorial Chapel. This week, the group will be performing works by Gabriela Lena Frank, Silvestre Revueltas, Beethoven and Arthur Foote. They will be joined by guest resident Linda Rosenthal.

PEOPLE INTERSECTING
On Sunday at 7:00 p.m. go to the Ho Lecture Room in Lawrence to hear from Peter Manseau, author of Songs for the Butcher's Daughters. The novel centers on Itsik Malphesh, a Yiddish poet who is exiled from Russia during the wa. In America, Malpesh finds a muse from the past, as well as a translator in a twenty-one-year-old Catholic man from Boston.

YOUR SHAPE
Beginning on Monday, March 8, Alan McCollum's, The Shapes Project: Shapes for Hamilton, will be on display in Clifford Gallery in Little Hall. McCollum, who has developed a system that can produce over 30 million shapes, is offering one shape that will be on display to every Colgate student and resident of Hamilton at the close of the exhibition at the end of the month.
