About the East Lansing Film Society Series

The East Lansing Film Society Film Series was created in the fall of 1998 when the closing of the only art house movie theater in Greater Lansing, The Odeon, closed.

The ELFS Film Series gives you the chance to see intelligent, creative independent films that are offered in major cities but do not have a venue in this area.

The East Lansing Film Series is brought to you by the East Lansing Film Festival a non-profit organization that holds a world-class film festival each March for four days in Wells Hall.

Come enjoy films that stimulate, enthrall, amuse and enlighten!

THE SKIN I LIVE IN (La Piel Que Habito)

Directed by Pedro Almodóvar

114 minutes   Rated R

In Spanish with English subtitles

"There are several genres nimbly folded into The Skin I Live In, which might also be described as an existential mystery, a m elodramatic thriller, a medical horror film or just a polymorphous extravaganza. In other words, it's an Almodóvar movie with all the attendant gifts that implies: lapidary technique, calculated perversity, intelligent w it."  - Manohla Dargis, New York Times
 
A brilliant plast ic surgeon, haunted by past tragedies, creates a type of synthetic skin that withstands any  kind of damage. His guinea pig: a mysterious and volatile woman who holds the key to his obsession. Starring Antonio Banderas.
