DUCHAMP PGM 1: DUCHAMP IN/ON FILM
This program is anchored by the films that were made by Duchamp directly: ANÉMIC CINÉMA and DISCS, the latter of which was made for inclusion in Hans Richter's project DREAMS THAT MONEY CAN BUY, whose interwoven dream sequences were created by a who's-who of the French avant-garde art world of the time (Duchamp, Max Ernst, Fernand Léger, Man Ray, Alexander Calder, and Richter himself). The program also includes Duchamp's collaborations with René Clair & Francis Picabia (ENTR'ACTE) and Maya Deren (WITCH'S CRADLE), his appearances in films by Andy Warhol, and a filmed interview with Duchamp (made on the occasion of a Boston Museum of Fine Art exhibition of the work of Duchamp's brother, Jacques Villon).
