A busy weekend of films being put on by my friends coming up: 1. On Saturday afternoon at Metrograph, a Nicholas Ray-Victor Erice double feature presented by @theater_matters... metrograph.com/category/dream…
Lo que fa aquest projecte (junt amb els cinemes que li donen suport) és una absoluta locura. Fa uns mesos va fer un cicle dedicat a Jean-Claude Rousseau, ara a Víctor Erice-Nicholas Ray i a Magguerite Duras... man això si que me fa fomo
We have a busy weekend ahead! Friday: Marguerite Duras x Henry James—a theatrical reading, Emily Harvey Foundation, 6pm. Saturday: Nicholas Ray x Víctor Erice, @Metrograph, 1:50pm & 3:50pm.
The feeling has been in the air, but I think it is officially a Nicholas Ray summer
"from 1963 on, Ray lived to film or filmed to stay alive. He filmed whenever he had the essential technical means, with hardly any set plans, even without a story... Within this obsessive impulse, those two essential actions— living and filming—tended to become the same thing"

If you are in New York on July 25, don’t miss this one-night-only theatrical reading of M. Duras’ stage adaptation of The Beast in the Jungle, preceded by a screening of Aurélia Steiner (Vancouver). Meanwhile, you can read the accompanying text I wrote: theaterofthematters.com/texts/how-soft…
"With this adaptation, Duras offers not simply a version of Henry James’ novella, but a portrayal of the structural condition it implies; a dirge for the might-have-been." Read Christina Tudor-Sideri's (@dreamsofbeing_) notes for this performance: theaterofthematters.com/texts/how-soft…
