+ online Q&A with Luc Moullet
6:15 PM
The 1980s saw Moullet experiment with short forms. Barres and Essai d’ouverture, two works built around increasingly absurd variations on a single scenario, are among the director’s most enduringly popular films, while the featurette Les Sièges de l’Alcazar lovingly pokes fun at the cinephilia of 1950s Paris.

Live
james K
7:30 PM
A version of james K was born. Comprised of bones, reactive metals and a larynx with freckled eyes that catalyzes that mix, she can now see through all the schemes. This is the truth. When she chews gum, it’s not clear which one of her personas does it. Since their first release in 2013, describing them separately is grunt work as they switch places, cosplay each other and would most likely lull you into a lonesome dream.
