Consuming Spirits - Chris Sullivan (U.S., 2012).Post an Event »

Chris Sullivan in person. Introduced by Jeffrey Skoller. Chris Sullivan’s intricate mix of hand-drawn animation, cutouts, and collage is an enigmatic, emotional tale centered on the intertwined lives of three intimate strangers in a small rust-belt town. “An artistic achievement so ambitious that most projects seem mundane in comparison” (Daniel Walber, Movies.com). (134 mins) This rendition of our annual series of experimental films, presented in conjunction with the UC Berkeley course on avant-garde film taught by Jeffrey Skoller, features an exciting opportunity to view cinema by women filmmakers working around the world. We are pleased that many of these filmmakers will join us in person for the screening of their films: Ute Aurand from Germany, Paz Encina from Paraguay, Janie Geiser from Los Angeles, Lamia Joreige from Lebanon, and Rose Lowder from France. $5.50 for BAM/PFA members, UC Berkeley Students; $9.50 for Adults; $6.50 for UC Berkeley faculty, non UCB students, seniors, youth, and disabled
