One More Time: The Cinema of Daniel Pommereulle

“The French artist and filmmaker Daniel Pommereulle (1937-2003) was one of those people who could stand firm against the all-consuming metropolis: someone who never compromised, who never sold his soul—even to America. We joyously return Pommereulle to New York: a necessary encounter, a poetic reward.” —Armance Léger and Boris Bergmann

Coinciding with the first US solo show of French artist Pommereulle, opening September 12 at the Grand Street Gallery Ramiken in New York, co-curators Léger and Bergmann present a film program focusing on the proteiform artist Pommereulle, a self-taught actor who appeared in films by Éric Rohmer (La Collectionneuse) and Jean-Luc Godard (Weekend), fraternized with the likes of Jean Eustache or Marc’O (Les Idoles) and the experimental Zanzibar Group, as well as directing two remarkable experimental shorts of his own. A consideration of a trenchant, conscientious artist’s singular relationship to the world of cinema that’s also a cross-section of some of the most revolutionary French film art to come out of the 1960s and ’70s.

Series curated by Boris Bergmann and Armance Léger.
