Screening - Don Barry: A Quixotic Exploration

Monday August 18 * 7pm * $10-20 * TICKETS

Don Barry: A Quixotic Exploration re-enlivens the meta- narrative of Cervantes’ Don Quixote by placing a real-life experimental filmmaker, Barry Gerson, into the Don’s role and filming his life work’s exploration of madness in a mad world among the crowds of Mexico’s magical city of Guanajuato.

The life and work of an experimental filmmaker in his 80s is layered atop the first great novel to draw out explorations of intuitive processes, cathartic landscapes, and the specters of death and creative succession. A young assistant (Sanchia, stand-in for Cervantes' Sancho Panza) helps revive Don Barry’s creative drive and push him to expand his cinematic explorations of light into new realms beyond narrative. The film is about the struggles that all artists face in today’s changing world.
