Fata Morgana

Fata Morgana&nbsp;(1971) 1h19mDirected by Werner Herzog Partly mystical, partly absurd, this early film by Werner Herzog evokes the chimerical visions of a desert mirage, re-framing and making strange different documentary images of life and decay in the Sahara. Film historian Lotte Eisener reads a Mayan creation myth and unlikely musical choices further twist and confuse our sense of place. Before the screening, guest speaker Ryan Tracy, PhD&mdash;artist, writer, and scholar&mdash;will introduce the film with a presentation titled Landscape Abstraction: Werner Herzog Against Himself, followed by a post-screening discussion. Light refreshments provided. Donations are appreciated.
