In honor of World AIDS Day, GRAM invites you to join us for a screening of Derek Jarman’s extraordinary experimental film BLUE (1993).
In his final — and most daring — cinematic statement, Derek Jarman the romantic meets Derek Jarman the iconoclast in a lush soundscape pulsing against a purely blue screen. Laying bare Jarman’s physical and spiritual state in a narration about his life, his struggle with AIDS and his encroaching blindness, BLUE is by turns poignant, amusing, poetic and philosophical.
This event is included with museum admission.
