Film Screening and Discussion- Close-up- Canceled

EVENT CANCELED

May’s theme is “True’ Stories”

This week’s film is a philosophically tangled meta-movie from Iran: Close-Up.

“This fiction-documentary hybrid uses a sensational real-life event—the arrest of a young man on charges that he fraudulently impersonated the well-known filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf—as the basis for a stunning, multilayered investigation into movies, identity, artistic creation, and existence, in which the real people from the case play themselves.”

• Showtime is 6 pm and after each screening, all will be invited to go into the downstairs conference room where a discussion of the film will be held. Meals from various local restaurants will be available for purchase at the discussions. Various scholars and critics will also be attending the screenings & discussions.
• FREE Movies every Tuesday at the Electric Theater!
