Film Screening Monday, December 8 7:30pm—9:30pm Anthology Film Archive 32 Second Avenue New York, NY Get Lost! presents a collection of cinematic love letters to New York from three seminal filmmakers: Jonas Mekas, Robert Frank, and Manfred Kirchheimer. As European immigrants, they brought an outsider’s curious eye to documenting their adopted home. Whether you’re hanging out on a Brooklyn corner, crashing at a Bowery apartment, or riding an elevated subway in the Bronx, the films here demonstrate that possibilities for escape are always close at hand in New York, and that getting lost is more than a location or a state of mind—it’s a creative act. Curated by Paul Dallas Wine and beer reception to follow Films: Williamsburg, Brooklyn Jonas Mekas, 1950-2003, 16mm, 15 min. Pull My Daisy Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie, 1959, 16mm, 28 min. Stations of the Elevated Manfred Kirshheimer, 1980, DCP, 45 min. http://www.vanalen.org/elsewhere/events/city-screens-get-lost/ This event is part of a week of public programs that kick off Van Alen Institute’s “Elsewhere: Escape and the Urban Landscape,” a multi-year inquiry that will explore the experience of escape in the urban environment.
