3 BY PETER SEMPEL
May 1 – May 3
FILMMAKER IN PERSON!
This spring brings a visit from avant-garde documentary portraitist extraordinaire Peter Sempel, who has devoted much of his energy over the past 25 years to filming some of the world’s most important counter-cultural figures, including Nick Cave, Blixa Bargeld, Nina Hagen, Allen Ginsberg, Lemmy, and Anthology’s founder and Artistic Director Jonas Mekas. For this three-evening program, Peter will be presenting his portrait of Butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno (JUST VISITING THIS PLANET), a documentary on flamenco (FLAMENCO MI VIDA), and his most recent feature ANIMALS OF ART, a kaleidoscopic survey of many important figures in the art and music worlds.
