CARL THEODOR DREYER Retrospective, presented by Austrian Film Museum, Vienna - November 4-30, 2011

NOVEMBER 4 to 30, 2011

Carl Theodor Dreyer

He worked tirelessly to realize a personal, radical idea of cinema.  He is the uncompromising filmmaker par excellence: Carl Theodor Dreyer.Even if they had no commercial success upon their initial release and were the subject of controversy and disagreement among critics, films such as LA PASSION DE JEANNE D’ARC (1928), VAMPYR (1932), ORDET (THE WORD, 1955) or GERTRUD (1964) have long been considered among the outstanding works of film history.[...]

LA PASSION DE JEANNE D’ARC (1928)

The retrospective is organized in close cooperation with the Danish Film Institute, which has preserved and restored many of Dreyer's works in extraordinarily beautiful prints.Thomas Christensen, head of the DFI’s film collection, and Dreyer scholar Casper Tybjerg will give lectures and present rare Dreyer materials from the DFI collection. The program also includes two documentaries about the director, made by Eric Rohmer and Torben Skjødt Jensen.

THE FILMS OF ADOLFAS MEKAS - A Retrospective Tribute at Anthology Film Archives October 20-27

THE FILMS OF ADOLFAS MEKAS

October 20 - October 27

Anthology Film Archives and the avant-garde film community at large suffered a great loss this past spring with the passing of Adolfas Mekas.  A gifted filmmaker and legendary figure at Bard College, where he founded the film department and taught for more than three decades, Adolfas came to New York from Lithuania with his brother Jonas (Anthology’s co-founder and Artistic Director) in 1949. After launching Film Culture magazine together, the Mekas brothers turned to filmmaking, collaborating on GUNS OF THE TREES and THE BRIG.  Adolfas would soon go on to produce a remarkable body of work of his own, with films including HALLELUJAH THE HILLS, WINDFLOWERS, and GOING HOME.

A seminal figure in the history of independent cinema, and an always warm, often hilarious presence in the lives of his many friends, family members, and students, Adolfas Mekas will be greatly missed.  In tribute to his life and work, Anthology presents this comprehensive retrospective of his work.

Very special thanks to Pola Chapelle, as well as to Barbara Stone, Gabrielle Claes (Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique), and Daniel Wagner & Daniel Bish (George Eastman House).

Please note: following the retrospective of Adolfas Mekas’s work, we will be presenting a series in honor of a friend and collaborator of Adolfas’s, the producer, distributor, and filmmaker David C. Stone, who also passed away earlier this year.
