1932, U.S. In Mamoulian’s magical masterpiece, amorous tailor Chevalier harnesses all of his ingenious pluck to woo lovelorn princess MacDonald in an enchanted Paris, a city where music literally radiates from every stoop, sidewalk, and boudoir.

Darrell Scott CD Release
Presented by Club Passim at Club Passim February 12, 2012 Much of the commentary about Darrell Scott’s career has focused on the songs he’s written that have been recorded by famous names and voices – those known in music industry parlance as “artists.” But then there’s the actual word artist, whose definition has nothing to do with radio hits and red carpets. We refer of course to those who create artifacts of aesthetic and intellectual contemplation and wonder, built from experience, skill, reflection and...

Silent Mountains, Singing Oceans, and Slivers of Time
Presented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 12, 2012 Over the last 15 years, David Gatten (b.1971) has explored the intersection of the printed word and moving image. The resulting body of work illuminates a wide array of historical, conceptual and material concerns, while cataloging the variety of ways in which texts function in cinema as both language and image, writing and drawing, often times blurring the boundary between these categories. Using traditional research methods (reading old books) and non-traditional film processes (boiling...

A Man Escaped
Presented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 12, 2012 A Man Escaped tells the true story of a Frenchman’s escape from a German prison camp during World War II. Although the title reveals the film’s denouement, the taut filmmaking keeps viewers on the edge of their seats throughout, suspense deriving from process and ritual rather than narrative surprise. Bresson restricts himself to the point of view of the imprisoned Fontaine whose limited visual environment and precise focus on minute details introduces the subtractive practice...
