7:00 p.m. . Paz Encina in person. Introduced by Natalia Brizuela. In rural Paraguay circa 1935, an elderly husband and wife wait for their son to return home. “Present blurs with past, life shades to death, and things unseen haunt the melancholy shadows, delicately cast, in this entrancing Paraguayan clearing” (New York Times). Preceded by Encina’s newest film, A Wind from the South. (101 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
