Source: Community Partnership Update/March 2011
 Emory University Distinguished Writer in Residence, Salman Rushdie, returned to campus this semester for his fifth consecutive year of teaching, seminars and public events.
A public film series, "Great Works of Fiction Made Into Great Films," has been curated and will be introduced by Rushdie. All films start at 7:30 p.m. and are screened in 35mm in Emory's White Hall, Room 208. Admission is free.
• March 14: "Contempt" (1963) is directed by Jean-Luc Godard and runs 103 minutes.
• March 21: "Lolita" (1962) is directed by Stanley Kubrick and runs 152 minutes.
Rushdie will also participate in "Music and Literature in the Technological Age: A Creativity Conversation" with Robert Spano, music director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Emory University Distinguished Artist in Residence; and Steve Everett, professor of music at Emory. The event is scheduled from 12 to 1 p.m. on Monday, March 14 at Emory's Cannon Chapel.
Rushdie's archive, which he placed at Emory in 2007, opened to the public for the first time last year amid considerable fanfare. The archive encompasses not only Rushdie's manuscripts, drawings, journals, letters and photographs, but also an array of digital materials, including several computers, which hold the complete digital environments in which Rushdie produced his work.
