SUMMARY:Chicago Public Library Event -  Global Lens 2012 Film Screening—Grey Matter (Matiére Grise) 
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong><em>Grey Matter (Mati&eacute;re Grise</em></strong>) <strong>Kivu Ruhorahoza</strong><strong>, Rwanda</strong><strong>, 2011, 100 minutes</strong></p>
<p>Set in Kigali, Rwanda&rsquo;s capital, this radiantly self-referential film-within-a-film describes the vision and trials of a determined filmmaker named Balthazar as he tries to produce his first feature, <em>The Cycle of the Cockroach</em><em>. </em>The trenchant drama, about a brother and sister dealing with the aftermath of genocide, finds no support from agencies only interested in funding upbeat policy-friendly films. As Balthazar borrows recklessly from a loan shark, the <em>Cycle </em>plays out on the screen, subtly measuring the horror and systematic madness of events hardly unique to Rwanda, while offering bracing insight into the nature of political violence. Kinyarwanda and French, with English subtitles.&nbsp;</p>
