Film screening:
"Showing Up"
(Kelly Reichardt, 2023, 107 min, USA, English, DCP)
A sculptor preparing to open a new show must balance her creative life with the daily dramas of family and friends, in Kelly Reichardt's vibrant and captivatingly funny portrait of art and craft.
"Showing Up leaves unresolved the familial, creative, professional, and interpersonal matters at its core, staying true to its vision of an artistic environment perpetually caught between modest comfort and precariousness." - Slant Magazine
"Showing Up's unassuming canvas carries the weight of creation-its difficulty and necessity in atomized times-and though it never preaches, Reichardt maintains there's worth to the work, even if the precarity never disappears." - The New Republic
"Kelly Reichardt... turns her thoughtful attention to the act of creation itself, rendering both its transcendence and mundanity with equal curiosity." - Washington Post
