Hi everyone,
This coming Tuesday, the 1st of September we will visit the SFMOMA. The tickets are free on this day, but the Richard Avedon photography exhibition will cost $5. I recommend that we see this show, so please be prepared to bring the extra $5 so we can enjoy this retrospective together. You can click here for the link to the museum.
There are also three film clips that will be shown at noon that I think would be worth seeing. Here is some information about those clips:
FREE TUESDAY, Sept 1, Noon, Wattis TheaterClipson Presents Subversive Documentaries
Las Hurdes (aka The Land Without Bread)
Luis Buñuel, 1933, 30 min., 16mm, b/w
Hotel des Invalides
Georges Franju, 1952, 22 min., 35mm, b/w
Le chant du Styrène
Alain Resnais, 1958, 19 min., 35mm, color, cinemascope

In this program of film shorts, experimental filmmaker (and SFMOMA's own head projectionist) Paul Clipson screens high-art takes on low subjects. Luis Buñuel cast a surreal eye on rural poverty in Spain, Alain Resnais documents the lyricism of plastic, and Georges Franju upends nationalism and military glory. The museum would like to thank the Consulate General of France in San Francisco for its assistance and support of this program.
Museum and program admission are free.

Hope everyone has a great weekend, see you on Monday!
Denise
