Join us Tuesday August 7 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for a noon screening of two classic experimental films: La Jetee, by the late French director and film essayist Chris Marker, and Meshes of the Afternoon, by director/choreographer/ethnographer Maya Deren.
"Composed almost entirely of still photographs and considered one of the most beautiful films of all time, La Jetee depicts an underground, post-World War III world, where drug-induced time travel is used to send a prisoner to the future for help. Meshes of the Afternoon, Deren and photographer Alexander Hammid's best-known collaboration, exemplifies the filmmakers' signature style of beauty and surrealism."
