Essayistic Acts: Une sale histoire + Las Meninas
on
March 16, 2015

on
March 16, 2015
Post-screening discussion with Elisabeth Subrin, Thomas Beard, and Johanna FatemanThis program features several works by Elisabeth Subrin, including the re-release of Shulie (a re-creation of an unreleased, direct-cinema documentary about radical feminist Shulamith Firestone), as well as Lost Tribes and Promised Lands and Sweet Ruin.
Edvard Munch
on
March 16, 2015
Peter Watkins’s magnum opus is an acutely intimate study of the great Norwegian painter who had a particularly acute sense for, as one character in the film puts it, “the mysterious anguish of life”—and the cathartic anguish of art.
Dramatic Acts Program
on
March 16, 2015
Introduction by Jean-Paul KellyThis program includes Simon Fujiwara’s acclaimed and personal Studio Pietà, Jean-Paul Kelly’s sharp and critical Service of the Goods, and two works by Ming Wong that absurdly and touchingly engage with the legacy of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Eat Fear and Learn German with Petra von Kant.
Vagabond
on
March 16, 2015
The heroine of one of Varda’s most celebrated features, played in a career-high performance by Sandrine Bonnaire, is a strong-willed young woman for whom freedom is its own costly end.
La Pointe Courte
on
March 16, 2015
Varda was 25 when she shot her enormously influential debut feature, a marital drama set in a small coastal fishing village in Sète that many consider the first proper entry in what would become the Nouvelle Vague.
Mur Murs
on
March 16, 2015
With the murals scattered throughout L.A., Varda found a quietly brilliant way to get an outsider’s perspective on the city’s convoluted social, racial, and economic tensions. An NYFF19 selection.
Lions Love (… and Lies)
on
March 16, 2015
This erotic Californian odyssey, in which Warhol superstar Viva enters into a precarious ménage à trois with the writers of the musical Hair, was one of Varda’s boldest, goofiest reckonings with the American counterculture. An NYFF7 selection.
The Gleaners and I
By Nicholas Kemp
on
March 13, 2015
Varda’s wondrous reflection on the art of scavenging is a catalog of subjects candid, unsettling, touching, and sublime, gathered and arranged—as only Varda could—into a curious, coherent whole. An NYFF38 selection.
Documenteur
By Nicholas Kemp
on
March 13, 2015
This docufiction hybrid and self-described “emotion picture,” made during Varda’s second L.A. sojourn as a companion piece to the documentary Mur Murs, is a frank reflection on estrangement, loneliness, and loss. An NYFF19 selection.
