BORIS MITIC
In Praise of Nothing, 2016
60:00 minutes
DECEMBER 6 | 06:00PM | FAENA HOTEL’ S SCREENING ROOM
RSVP
A voyage across the world like a fantastic cavalcade through seas, mountains, valleys, streets, forests, deserts and so much more: we accompany “Nothing”, an exceptional guide, to discover banal moments that become unique. The universe offered up by Boris Mitić, the unfathomable enfant terrible of Serbian film, is made of philosophical reflections that blend images caught by the cameras of 62 accomplices with a text imbued with a satirical tone and narrated by the incomparable voice of Iggy Pop. Remixed from the feature-length documentary ‘In Praise of Nothing’.
EUGENE JARECKI
The King, 2018
107 minutes
DECEMBER 7 | 06:00PM | FAENA HOTEL’ S SCREENING ROOM
RSVP
Forty years after the death of Elvis Presley, two-time Sundance Grand Jury winner Eugene Jarecki’s new film takes the King’s 1963 Rolls-Royce on a musical road trip across America. From Memphis to New York, Las Vegas, and beyond, the journey traces the rise and fall of Elvis as a metaphor for the country he left behind. In this groundbreaking film, Jarecki paints a visionary portrait of the state of the American Dream and a penetrating look at how the hell we got here. A diverse cast of Americans, both famous and non, join the journey, including Alec Baldwin, Rosanne Cash, Chuck D, Emmylou Harris, Ethan Hawke, Van Jones, Mike Myers, and Dan Rather, among many others.
WU TSANG
Wildness, 2012
74:00 minutes
DECEMBER 8 | 06:00PM | FAENA HOTEL’ S SCREENING ROOM
RSVP
Wildness is an award-winning documentary about the Silver Platter, a historic bar that is a home to Latina and immigrant transgender communities in Los Angeles. With a magical-realist flourish, the bar itself becomes a character, narrating what happens when a group of young artists create a weekly performance art/dance party, which explodes into creativity and conflict. At the Silver Platter, the search for answers to these questions creates coalitions across generations. Wildness world-premiered at MoMA’s Documentary Fortnight, and won Best Documentary at Outfest Los Angeles. Screenings include 2012 Whitney Biennial, South by Southwest, HOT DOCS Toronto, and SANFIC Santiago, amongst numerous other museums and festivals worldwide.
