The 2014-15 season of the Schnitzer Cinema, curated by Cinema Pacific director Richard Herskowitz, is devoted to American experimental media, with a special emphasis on the history of American avant-garde film.
A spirited documentary exploring the life of James Broughton, a pioneer of experimental cinema, visionary poet, and bard of Gay Liberation, Big Joy is a kaleidoscopic portrait of Broughton’s luminous life and personality. The filmmakers intersperse Broughton’s diaries, poems and experimental films, weaving an entertaining and complex tribute.
Schnitzer Cinema screenings are free and include free popcorn and soda and are brought to you in partnership with Cinema Pacific and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
