Cost: FREE
All films projected in silent 8mm film, in color and black and
white.
Local experimental film exhibitors
Jefferson Presents collaborates with the Mattress Factory in
assembling a very special outdoor free screening of 8mm films by
recently departed film legend Stan Brakhage (1933-2003). Considered the
most influential American experimental filmmaker, Brakhage redefined
celluloid film as a poetic artist's medium, about as far removed from
conventional Hollywood cinema as is possible. This program will be
projected in the original 8mm home movie format and will feature many
films from the SONGS cycle created in the mid-late 1960's. Each of
Brakhage's SONGS are miniature virtuoso cinema spectacles that contain
layered, exploding images of the filmmaker's family, friends and
landscape around his remote Colorado home and serve to construct a
personal mythology of the filmmaker's life.
MEMBERS BRUNCH
AT THE MF
Due to the holiday the museum will not host the member's brunch for
August. Members please join us for the
FREE brunch on
September 28 from 11 AM to 1 PM
The Dwell De LA Espada Library
September 5 through November 3
As part of a new program to bring furniture out of the showroom, and
into the world, De
La Espada has teamed up with
Dwell Magazine and
the Mattress Factory.
De La Espada has an affinity for solid wood and an ability to create
furniture that is at once modern and traditional, breathing warmth into
sleek, modern environments. By placing the furniture at the Mattress
Factory, it provides a place where visitors can rest their feet, learn
more about the exhibits, catch up on the latest issue of Dwell or just
have a chat with a friend. It is a way of bringing the comfort of home
to the grandeur of a culturally rich museum.
Please visit the museum's lobby September 5, through November 3 to
experience the De La Espada furniture first hand.
