Kevin Jerome Everson: More New Films
Los Angeles Filmforum presents
Kevin Jerome Everson: More New Films
Sunday, May 5, 2019, 7:30 pm
At the Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028
Kevin Jerome Everson in person!

Kevin Jerome Everson is one of the most prolific, important experimental filmmakers currently working. The kind of artist who thinks through the particular problems of cinema by making it, his indefatigable output perfectly fits Manny Farbers description of termite art as having no sign that the artist has any other object in mind other than eating away the immediate boundaries of his art, and turning these boundaries into conditions of the next achievement. Eversons films, by turns light and deeply affective, are never not alive. Because of his near-constant innovation, each new film surprises. Eversons themes, though clearly identifiable, are never forced; they emerge organically through the course of his work. Among its many achievements, his oeuvre is one of the most significant records of contemporary African American life. Los Angeles Filmforum is delighted to welcome back Everson with the second program this week f program of recent work by Everson, including many premieres, with the artist in attendance.

Tickets: $10 general; $6 students (with ID)/seniors; free for Filmforum Members. Available in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at  or at the door.

For more information: www.lafilmforum.org or 323-377-7238.
