Join us for this special screening of François Truffaut's THE WILD CHILD (L'ENFANT SAUVAGE), with a post-show talk featuring current Bemis Center artists-in-residence Kim Faler, Jon Rappleye, and Pablo Rasgado, and artist Seth Johnson. Moderated by Bemis Center curator Hesse McGraw.
About the film: Inspired by a true story, Truffaut wrote, directed, and delivered a rare performance in this brilliant and beautiful cinematic masterpiece about a boy discovered in the wild and the doctor who attempts to bring him into civilization.
Arthouse: Bemis Artists Talk Film is a collaboration between Film Streams and the Bemis Center, two contemporary arts organizations committed to creating a vibrant ongoing dialogue at the intersection of art, film and life. The series emphasizes the importance of film as an art form; provides opportunities for the public to discuss the art of film and filmmaking; and allows visiting artists to engage the larger community. Past Arthouse events have resulted in surprisingly rollicking conversations -- despite the artists and audience often seeing the film for the first time, the dialogues have been humorous, exploratory and perhaps even profound, with a high degree of conversation between artists and audience.
