A selection from Doug Aitken: Electric Earth
A screening of filmic works by Doug Aitken as related to Doug Aitken: Electric Earth, approximately 2 hrs.
Aitken belongs to a generation of artists such as Philippe Parreno, Pierre Huyghe and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, for whom film functions as a medium for experience, and exists as form as much as subject matter.

Let’s Get Lost
Let’s Get Lost, Bruce Weber, 1988, 2 hrs.
Vanishing Point
Vanishing Point, Richard Sarafian, 1971, 1 hr. 39 mins.
To me, the “vanishing point” means just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Richard Sarafian
Down by Law
Down by Law, Jim Jarmusch, 1986, 1 hr. 47 mins.
Down by Law is a fable of poetic density. Vincent Canby, New York Times, September 19, 1986
Kings of the Road
Kings of the Road, Wim Wenders, 1976, 2 hrs. 55 mins.
Wim Wenders' Kings of the Road is a film of great depth and beauty, and its black and white photography is worthy of comparison with John Ford's. But it is rarely played commercially, maybe because of its three-hour length. Three hours, yes, but that's not a moment too long. Wenders needs the time to pace the developing relationship between his two main characters. Roger Ebert, March 15, 1978
