NOW PLAYING
IDYLL: MARCUSE AND MCCLUHAN
As a part of the public programming for its current exhibition, Idyll, the
Morris
and Helen Belkin Art Gallery in partnership with Vancity Theatre is
pleased to
sponsor a special night of film screenings. On the 40th anniversary of May
1968, the
Belkin Art Gallery presents three exhibitions?as well as works from its
collection
and documents from its archive?addressing aspects of that revolutionary
period. To
complement the exhibition are a selection of films that are both documents
and
analysis of the 1960s. Two of the films screened explore the lives of figures
critical to the thinking of that time?philosopher and sociologist Herbert
Marcuse
and media theorist Marshall McLuhan. The three other films are
representative of
experimental filmmaking from the 1960s, displaying an interest in using
film to
subvert a highly administered society through alterations in perception.
