The Proposal - Sunday, April 28, 2019 12:00pm
Celebrated conceptual artist Jill Magid set her sights on an ambitious new project: an exhibition inspired by the visionary Mexican architect Luis Barragán. The only trouble was, one woman in Switzerland owns Barragán’s entire professional archive. And, for more than 20 years, she has kept it inaccessible to the public.
Unable to execute her original goal, Magid instead redirected her focus to this spellbinding documentary about her unlikely journey into a legal quagmire and her attempt to question the inaccessibility of Barragán’s work. With its measured pacing and haunting ambience, Magid’s hypnotic film is an engaging examination of artistry, diplomacy, and posterity at a crossroads.

Garry Winogrand: All Things Are Photographable - Sunday, April 28, 2019 3:00pm
Described as a philosopher of photography, Garry Winogrand captured the streets of America in the ‘60s and ‘70s. His lens snapped images of everyday people from the Mad Men era of NYC to the early years of the Women’s Movement to post-Golden Age Hollywood, all while observing themes of cultural upheaval, political disillusionment, and alienation.
The film includes selections from thousands of rolls of film still undeveloped upon his unexpected death in 1984. Director Sasha Waters Freyer assesses the artist and the man, and clearly shows us why he made a difference.

Words From A Bear - Sunday, April 28, 2019 6:00pm
Words from a Bear examines the enigmatic life of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Navarro Scott Momaday, one of Native America’s most celebrated authors of poetry and prose. The film captures the essence of Momaday’s writings in relation to his unique American experience representing ancestry, place, and history. Cinematically this story takes a spiritual journey through the expansive landscapes of the West, when Momaday’s ancestors roamed the Great Plains with herds of buffalo, to the sand-painted valleys of Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, where his imagination ripened and he showed superior writing skills as a young mission student.
The film also reveals intimate details of the writer’s personal life through his literary texts, along with the trials and tribulations he faced as a Native American artist in the 20th and 21st century.
