Cinema to benefit the Alameda Art Center

On Saturday, February 8, "David Lynch: The ArtLife", a film by Rick Barnes, Jon Nguyen and Olivia Neergaard-Holm, will be shown. The film is set up as an intimate journey through the trajectory of iconic filmmaker David Lynch from his formative years in a small town in Montana to his life on the dark streets of Philadelphia. With voice-over by Lynch himself, the documentary shows in detail the director's learning and the keys to his enigmatic pictorial style and helps us understand the figure of the man behind the artist.

On Saturday, February 15, "Ryuichi Sakamoto: CODA" will be presented, a film by Stephen Nomura Schible that presents an introspective look at the career of the famous Japanese composer and pianist, Ryuichi Sakamoto. In the midst of a serious illness, Sakamoto decides to expose specific clues about his creative obsessions, such as the connection between music and nature.

On Saturday, February 22, at 12 noon, "JAAR the lament of images" will be shown, a documentary by Paula Rodríguez that observes the creative and personal process of Alfredo Jaar, the most internationally recognized contemporary Chilean artist. For him, art is the last space left in society from which it is possible to speak honestly and deeply about social conflicts in a world dominated by consumption and spectacle. The film covers his work exhibited in Finland, Venice, Buenos Aires, Santiago and New York.

On Saturday, March 7,, "Gas Escapes" will be presented, a documentary by Bruno Salas that revolves around the sculpture created by Félix Maruenda for UNCTAD III. The film includes valuable material from the construction of the building during the government of Salvador Allende, its operation during the UP, during the dictatorship and from the 90s until the fire. 

These functions are part of the “B CINE” cycle which will be held during the rest of February jointly by Citylab, GAM, Dart Festival and Cine Arte Alameda.
