STRUGGLING WITH FAME, DRUGS AND IDENTITY: “BASQUIAT” (BIOPIC)

tue18aug7:30 pmSTRUGGLING WITH FAME, DRUGS AND IDENTITY: “BASQUIAT” (BIOPIC)7:30 pm

Event Details

Julian Schnabel’s tribute to his friend and fellow painter Jean-Michel Basquiat is less a conventional biopic than an impressionistic, sensory immersion into the much-mythologized downtown-Manhattan

Event Details

Jeffrey Wright, in his first lead film role, stars as the visionary artist whose rise from graffiti tagger to art star forces him to confront the glare of sudden fame, along with racism, his own struggles with addiction, and the difficulties of being self-determining and free in America.

Bolstered by an ensemble cast that includes a sublime performance by David Bowie channeling Andy Warhol, Schnabel’s directorial debut “Basquiat” (1996, 110 min) is a profoundly expressive elegy for a radiant life cut short.

Event Details

A reckless romantic who takes refuge among Alaska’s grizzlies: Pieced together from Timothy Treadwell’s actual video footage, Werner Herzog’s poignant, beautiful, and absolutely hilarious documentary “Grizzly Man” (2005, 104 min) examines the calling that drove Treadwell to live among a tribe of wild bears.

A devoted conservationist with a passion for adventure, Timothy believed he had bridged the gap between human and beast. When one of the bears he loved and protected tragically turns on him, the footage he shot serves as a window into our understanding of nature and its grim realities.

Event Details

Anti-Archive is a Cambodian film production company founded in 2014 by Davy CHOU, Steve CHEN, and Kavich NEANG. Daniel MATTES and PARK Sungho later joined as partners. The company produces and co-produces fiction and documentary films by the emerging, new generation of Cambodian filmmakers, as well as films by international, independent directors shooting in Cambodia.

Event Details

The Arabian Sea, a portion of the Indian Ocean that was a major trade route cine the time of Caesar and before, has been fished by the Koli caste of India for millennia, practically. Now the sea is dying, a potential casualty of climate change.

Bombay fishermen Rakesh and Ganesh are inheritors of the Koli knowledge system of harvesting the sea following the moon and the tides. Rakesh has kept faith in the traditional fishing methods; Ganesh has instead embraced technology.

“Against the Tide” (2023, 97 min) a documentary directed by Sarvnik Kaur, depicts environmental disaster with an intimate lens.
