Film Dada: Cinema of the Bearded Heart
Dec 10, 2014
Co-presented with The Sprocket Society
Live accompaniment by Lori Goldston
16mm prints!
Explosive dada moods and rhythms emblazoned on film—an appropriately radical 1920s film movement that ties nicely to our 20th anniversary celebrations. Tonight we feature canonical shorts by Viking Eggeling, Hans Richter, Man Ray, René Clair and Fernand Léger.
- Part of Down for Dada, two nights of film this December at Northwest Film Forum. Read more about the December 11 program >
