Thursday, April 27-Saturday, April 29.7:30 p.m. Agassiz Theatre. Tickets available at the Harvard Box Office. $5. “A little bit Buñuel, a little bit Chaplin, and a little bit Monty Python,” is the description offered by director Claire E.

A social activist as much as a filmmaker, Buñuel understood that art and laughter are the strongest tactics at one’s disposal when faced with the forces of oppression.
