Venture into other worlds with a series of psychedelic and mind-bending films that blur the lines between fairy tale and reality. With subject matter aligned to the dark humor and social commentary intertwined in the artwork of exhibitions Collidoscope: de la Torre Brothers Retro-Perspective and Marvin Lipofsky Blows Glass, these stunning films transport viewers through the looking glass.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972)
French with English subtitle translation

Join the dinner party that just wouldn’t happen with six friends who never seem to get to eat. This film, which The Guardian deemed “a deranged masterpiece from one of cinema’s greatest weirdos,” leads viewers through a surreal series of events and leaves them questioning which are dreams, and which are reality.

Join us at 5:30 PM before each film for a guided Reel Tour of works on view that relate to themes in the film series.
