Revolutions and Revelations Film Program (2-4 pm & 6-8 pm)
This screening is part of Dance Films Kino at the Art Center from March 4-10. Free Admission

While the word revolution pays tribute to the political context out of which the kino rose, in this program it is a pun referring to the physical act of spinning around an axis. Revelation refers to the act of arriving at a truth through observation and scientific experimentation, and through the translation of language into symbols and gestures. Films in this program are set in classrooms, at desks, and against chalkboards in a surreal style. Many of these explorations are humorous, revealing failures in communication while expressing the joy of arriving at an unexpected discovery.

Join us at the evening screening on Thursday, March 8 for a special vodka “sipping” event courtesy of Emissary Sipping School.
