JOIN US FOR AN IMMERSIVE EVENING EXPLORING THE PHILOSOPHY OF TIME TRAVEL, FEATURING A SPECIAL PRESENTATION ‘TIME TRAVEL 101’ FOLLOWED BY A SCREENING OF CHRIS MARKER’S INFLUENTIAL 1962 MASTERPIECE LA JETÉE.

THIS EXPANDED PROGRAM KICKS OFF OUR SUMMER FILM SERIES ‘CINEMATIC TIME TRAVELS,’ OFFERING A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO DELVE INTO BOTH THE THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS OF TEMPORAL MOVEMENT IN CINEMA.

THE EVENING BEGINS WITH AN ENGAGING LECTURE EXAMINING HOW PHILOSOPHERS AND FILMMAKERS HAVE GRAPPLED WITH THE NATURE OF TIME AND ITS MALLEABILITY, FOLLOWED BY A SCREENING OF LA JETÉE, THE GROUNDBREAKING SHORT FILM THAT INSPIRED TERRY GILLIAM’S 12 MONKEYS AND COUNTLESS OTHER TIME TRAVEL NARRATIVES.

STAY AFTER THE SCREENING FOR A THOUGHT-PROVOKING DISCUSSION WHERE WE’LL EXAMINE THE INTERSECTION OF TIME, MEMORY, AND NARRATIVE IN LA JETÉE.
