Hoop Dreams Part of Campus Summer Scene


by Linda Charles
Oscar may have snubbed Hoop Dreams, but the Lectures Program 
didn't. 

The award-winning documentary about the lives of two inner-
city youths who dream of playing NBA basketball is among the 
offerings (June 29) in "The I-Blinked-and-Missed-It" film 
series, part of the Lectures Program "Summer Scene."

Other film offerings include Circle of Friends, a coming-of-
age story about three girls from a small town who go to 
college in Dublin, starring Chris O'Donnell (June 20); 
Deloris Clairbourne, the psychological thriller based on 
Stephen King's novel and starring Kathy Bates and Jennifer 
Jason Leigh (July 6); Don Juan Demarco, about a psychiatrist 
who treats a suicidal young man who's convinced he's the 
reincarnation of Don Juan, starring Johnny Depp and Marlon 
Brando (July 13); and Losing Isaiah, the story of a birth 
mother's attempt to regain custody of her son, with Jessica 
Lange and Halle Berry (July 20).

The summer program also includes lectures on "The Last of the 
Quarks" by John Hauptman, department of physics and astronomy 
(June 21); "Women and Men Talking Together: Rethinking Gender 
and Language," by Jane Vallier, department of speech
