In the four years since filmmaker Chris Paine released the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?, electric vehicles have been revived. In that film, Paine documented the corporate leaders, government officials and consumers who embraced SUVs over electric cars, exploring the larger story of our car culture in the process. Paine is back with a new film in the works: The Revenge of the Electric Car, set for release in 2011. As part of Planet Indy series, spend an evening with Paine.

This circular garden bed in front of the Museum’s Efroymson Family Entrance Pavilion was dedicated in honor of Nonie (Eleanor) Krauss in the spring of 2008. Nonie, the late wife of John Krauss, was very involved at the IMA and loved nature, bird watching and gardening. A generous gift from Nonie’s husband along with her friends and family allowed the IMA to convert a space that was covered in mulch half of the year into a fully planted year-round garden.

FILM: Theological Follies: Two Films by Luis Buñuel
This one-evening film series explores identity through spirituality in the films of Spanish director Luis Buñuel, perhaps best-known for his Surrealist explorations with artist Salvador Dalí. Buñuel’s mid-career films presented here grapple with his ambivalence toward religion, a theme that would preoccupy much of his career.
