Cinephile Sundays: 1966: Sixty Six

Filmmaker Lewis Klahr will attend the Wellesley screening of Sixty Six to introduce the film and take questions afterwards. Regarded by many as the art film of the year, Sixty Six premiered less than a year ago at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The film weaves a mobile tapestry of cinematic, pop-cultural, and autobiographical memories from 1966, filtering them through a mythopoetic lens. With titles such as “Mercury,” “Jupiter Sends a Message,” and “Mars Garden,” each of Sixty Six’s 12 chapters resonates with Greek mythology and explores the dreams of mid-century America, more specifically those inscribed in Los Angeles’ urban texture.
