STUDIO 8 Film Festival - SUNDAY @ SFMOMA - Lawrence Jordan Tribute

Join us for a special tribute to legendary filmmaker Lawrence Jordan, presented as the closing event of the Studio 8 Film Festival. Held at SFMOMA’s Phyllis Wattis Theater, this rare screening will feature a curated selection of Jordan’s visionary collage animations and surrealist shorts — with Lawrence Jordan in attendance.

🎬 Featured Films:

• Water Light
• Pink Swine
• Cornell, 1965
• Our Lady of the Sphere
• Masquerade
• Winter Light
• Postcard from San Miguel

Lawrence Jordan’s works span over six decades and are rich with mythic resonance, surreal imagery, and a deeply poetic sense of motion and time. This is a rare opportunity to see these films on the big screen and hear directly from the artist himself.
