SCREENING + TALK: THE ETERNAL RETURN
Time and Time Again: La Jetée & the Eternal Recurrence
Thursday, October 6, 7:30 PM
Tickets
Chris Marker's 1962 science fiction classic, La Jetée, launches The Eternal Return screening series, accompanied by two related short films, Keith Sanborn's Operation Double Trouble and Ben Badeau's 300 Clouds. La Jetée supersedes the myth that film exists only in the present by offering an exacting meditation on time, chance, fate, and memory. A talk by filmmaker Keith Sanborn examining the interconnections between La Jetée and Nietzsche's meditations on the eternal return in his late notebooks follows the film program.
