First, we will watch the short film (17m) The Mutability of All Things and the Possibility of Changing Some by Anna Marziano:
Anna Marziano's intelligent, quietly moving "The Mutability of All Things and the Possibility of Changing Some" explores our human adaptability in light of catastrophe by way of seminal literature passages implying a transitory social body.
After, we will watch Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris (38m) by Terence Dixon:
Tense, combative, discursive: A meeting with James Baldwin doesn’t quite go according to plan for a group of presumptuous white filmmakers in this rarely seen, Paris-set short film. An illuminating snapshot of Baldwin’s intellectual worldview that bristles with friction and ideas.
The screening of both films will be preceded by a short intro by PPE.
Free snacks and drinks included!
This event is a cooperation between the Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) program and VU Library.
