Double Feature:
An Exploration of Mind, Memory, and Dream

double feature
Thursday, May 7th
7 to 9:30pm

As part of the 2009 Master of Fine Arts Exhibition: Begged, Borrowed, and Stolen, artist Scott Aigner presents a simultaneous double feature of the movies Burden of Dreams by Les Blank, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry.

Viewers will be given the opportunity to reflect on the way in which we view movies. How will one film impact the narrative of the other? Can new meaning arise out of the simultaneous viewing of two separate films?

Films start at 7:30pm with a introduction by the aritst at 7pm.


This screening is part of our after-work programing offered Thursday evenings. Before the show stop by Tip Top Kitchen & Cocktails and ask for the Urban Artists' Special: It's very special indeed and its only $3.
