Movie Night: Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow
Friday, October 25th 7:30-9p
Join us for an immersive movie experience with Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow, a captivating documentary that delves into the creative process of German artist Anselm Kiefer. This visually striking film, directed by Sophie Fiennes, takes viewers on an extraordinary journey through Kiefer’s sprawling studio complex in the south of France, where industrial ruins transform into monumental works of art.
With a focus on the intersection of art, history, and alchemy, the film provides a glimpse into Kiefer’s unique vision as he crafts hauntingly beautiful sculptures and installations out of raw materials like lead, glass, and concrete. The documentary’s meditative pacing and evocative soundtrack highlight the artist’s relationship with decay, regeneration, and the cycles of nature.
Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow is an exploration of creativity on an epic scale, revealing the dedication, experimentation, and scale of Kiefer’s work, while also inviting audiences to reflect on the broader themes of civilization, destruction, and renewal.
