This Oscar-winning film from absurdist auteur Luis Buñuel takes aim at French high society as an elegant dinner party slips down a series of surreal rabbit holes.
The Sun Quartet + Be Silent, For The Ears Of God Are Everywhere
Tue, Nov 14, 2023
The Sun Quartet (2017)
Dir. Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, 62min, DCP
In Spanish with English subtitles
The disappearance of 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers College in 2014 opened a breach in the Mexican political body. The Sun Quartet is a solar composition in four movements, a political composition in four natural elements, and an audiovisual composition in four bodily mutations. The film culminates with the clamor of the people that shook Mexico after the night of September 26, 2014.
Be Silent, For The Ears Of God Are Everywhere (2006)
Dir. The Otolith Group, 11min
French psychoanalyst and intellectual Jacques Lacan once said, “Revolution is nothing more than going around and round in circles.” In this video meditation on vinyl records and post-political spaces, the Otolith Group explores the demand for a space of safety that exists outside of disagreement.
