Post Screening Q&A with Lewis Klahr and Robert Harris
Please join us at the Brattle Theatre for a special screening and program featuring collage artist and filmmaker Lewis Klahr.
Known for his uniquely idiosyncratic experimental films and cutout animations, Klahr uses found images and sound to explore the intersection of memory and history. The evening will feature a selection of his eclectic films, including his latest feature-length series, The Blue Rose of Forgetfulness (2022). Following the screening, Klahr will join RPM Curator Robert Harris for a conversation about his work.
