(see times)
The McEvoy Foundation for the Arts (MFA) hosts a free screening of Sofia Coppola's hypnotic and groundbreaking 2003 film, 'Lost in Translation,' co-presented with the Roxie Theater. The screening is part of 'For the Sake of Summer,' MFA's film and music series featuring an eclectic mix of musicians and filmmakers.
Set in Japan, 'Lost in Translation' poignantly explores the emptiness that its Western protagonists feel within their Japanese reality. Starring Scarlett Johansen and Bill Murray, the film revels in contradictions, taking audiences on a journey of pleasure and melancholy. The screening at MFA is preceded by a compilation of cinema clips that relate to Western culture as seen through the lens of other cultures.
'For the Sake of Summer' expands upon film and music motifs and cultural themes explored in MFA's summer exhibition, 'Ragnar Kjartansson: Scenes from Western Culture.' The music series presents a sonic compliment to Kjartansson's video installations that are "about a feeling, but there's no story." For the Sake of Summer is co-presented with Canyon Cinema, Noise Pop, and the Roxie Theater. For details visit mcevoyarts.org.
Advance tickets may be reserved on Eventbrite. Reserved tickets are good until 6:45 pm when all unclaimed tickets are released and made available at the door on a first-come first-served basis. Seating is limited. Please arrive early.
