Upcoming Screenings of Interest
Monday, April 7th:
For-Educational-Use-Only: a Series of Video Screenings (A&D room 229, 7pm)
Chris Marker's "Sans Soleil"
1983, 100 min, 16mm film, color, sound
Stretching the genre of documentary, this essay-film is a rich composition of thoughts, images and scenes, mainly from Japan and Guinea-Bissau, "two extreme poles of survival". Some other scenes were filmed in Iceland, Paris, and San Francisco. A female narrator reads from letters supposedly sent to her by the (fictitious) cameraman Sandor Krasna. "Sans Soleil" contains some stock footage, clips from Japanese film and television, and a few excerpts from other films. The original documentary footage was filmed by Marker with a 16mm Beaulieu silent film camera in conjunction with a non-sync portable tape recorder.
And, if your in or near Chicago next Friday:
Craig Baldwin, video and performance @ Enemy, 9pm, 4/11/08

At Enemy - 1550 N. Milwaukee Ave. 3rd Fl. (Damen Blue line, Damen/North).
