Chris Marker's "The Case of the Grinning Cat"
Sat, Mar 25
8:30pm
$5
In the second session of our two-week suite on War and Peace, here's
the latest from master French film essayist Chris Marker. Shot on the
streets of Paris over the course of mounting European resistance to
American imperial aims, this hour-long lyric plays out Marker's very
personal fascination with the enigmatic appearance of the cat, in
this case appearing on the walls and placards of French anti-war
activists. This debut screening is facilitated by a live translation
by Colleen Silva. Supporting the premiere is an ensemble of short
subjects that also address this global horror-show through artists'
eyes, including poignant pieces by Jacob Bricca, James Schneider, and
Edouard Salier. Free red wine.
