American Independent Film Director Nina Menkes at the American Center

When:  Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Where: American Center

The American Center will host a seminar with American independent film director Nina Menkes. Nina will be in Prague as a guest of Febiofest and will talk about her work, her films and her favorite films and film directors.

Nina will present her first film The Great Sadness of Zohara (40 min) and short excerpts from Phantom Love, as an introduction to her talk about her work style, and how her films have progressed over the years.

Called "brilliant, one of the most provocative artists in film today" by The Los Angeles Times, Nina Menkes synthesizes inner dream-worlds with harsh, outer realities. Her seven films are a body of work called Sight and Sound which has been called "controversial, intense and visually stunning." Febiofest will present the following of Nina Menkes‘ films: The Bloody Child, Queen of Diamonds and Phantom Love.

When: Wednesday, March 26, 2008, 17:00
Where: American Center, Tržiště 13, Prague 1, 1st floor (approx. 50 m below U.S. Embassy)
