welcome back after spring break! we all hope you had a good one😸 this week we’d love to invite you to our screening of Chris Marker’s Sans Soleil (1983)! 🌞

“A woman narrates the contemplative writings of a seasoned world traveler, focusing on contemporary Japan.” (IMDb)

“This experimental film by acclaimed French director Chris Marker collects footage recorded in various countries around the world and presents it in collage-like form. The movie features no synchronized sound, but instead ties the various segments together with music and voice-over narration, which ponders the topics such as memory, technology and society. As the scenes shift, locations range from Japan to Iceland to Africa, creating a truly international work.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

we will be in NK3 this thursday evening, so come on down! we’ll have some discussion time after the screening and if you’d like, we might head to the bobbin afterwards 🙂‍↕️ as usual, you may bring snacks and stuff make yourself comfy!

free screening ‼️
runtime: 1h 40m
location: New King’s, NK3
time: 6:30pm on Thursday 16th April
