The Dziga Vertov Group: Lecture with Clips by Jean-Pierre Gorin
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at PFA Theater
(see times)
In Person with Jean-Pierre Gorin!
Lifelong cinephiles, Godard and Gorin know cinema history through expansive, wide-ranging viewing, and have thought deeply about film language and the making of meaning. Their brilliance is in how they reveal their thinking through their filmmaking. After they met in 1967, Godard and Gorin began to collaborate on a series of formally and politically radical films and videos under the banner of the Dziga Vertov Group. In these often maligned but rarely seen works, they interrogate film image and sound, asking questions of cinema, history, and contemporary life—forging a new film practice. Difficult and provoking, yes, but also humorous, exhilarating, and beautiful.
Total running time: c. 90 mins
