Dear Friends,
The beautiful fall weather brings with it great opportunities for us to open up our rooftop terrace for several live screenings throughout the next month. Check out what we'll be offering, and see if you can come out to join us in the fresh air for a few films.
Starting this Friday, we'll be premiering IN Series Theatre Company's new film Pieces of a Last Act, featuring music from Richard Wagner. Then, we'll revisit some of the great films we streamed this past summer with Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss's heartfelt tragicomedy Return to GO! on September 29, and Mo Asumang's daring documentary Roots Germania on October 7. Then, we're excited to present our contributions to the Films Across Borders annual city-wide film series: The Trouble with Being Born on October 14, and In the Name of Scheherazade or The Last Beer Garden in Tehran on October 21.
Plain Sight DC and the EU National Institutes of Culture in Washington, DC (EUNIC) are proud to present A Window to Europe: Through Literature and Art, a series of short exhibitions featuring eleven visual artists from the Washington, DC region who will create work in response to eleven books by European writers. Beginning the series will be the work of Baltimore-based creative Hoesy Corona, whose artwork responds to German illustrator and writer Lukas Jüliger's graphic novel Unfollow.
In one of our classrooms, we will also show at select dates and times the video installation Past, Present, Tense. from Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo, a Berlin-based artist originally from the USA. The 32-minute installation will play on loop for visitors on days where we have film screenings on the terrace; check out the full schedule below for more information.
