SFMOMA Presents Moving Portraits: Films and Short Works of Mike Mills at Roxie Theater
On January 26, director Mike Mills will be on hand at the Roxie Theater to premiere his new SFMOMA curated film, A Mind Forever Voyaging Through Strange Seas of Thought Alone: Silicon Valley Project as part of their Live Projects 3: Project Los Altos along with a screening of his 2011 film Beginners.
Although he shares a name with a certain well known member of R.E.M., Mike Mills, the director, has carved out his own niche as a director and visual artist. In addition to his two theatrical releases Thumbsucker (2005) and Beginners — the latter of which opened the 54th SF International Film Festival — he’s also known for his music video work and documentaries. His new film is a portrayal of children of tech workers in Silicon Valley and their visions for the future, in line with Project Los Altos’ theme of artists exploring the tech-heavy area.
Taking place on the eve of his highly anticipated Live Projects 3 artist talk at SFJAZZ Center, along with Chris Johnson and Kateřina Šedá, expect further screenings of some of his past short films and a discussion with Mills.
