7:00 p.m. Films of James Broughton
James Broughton (US, 1948–81)

Introduction/Janis Crystal Lipzin


Lipzin is a Bay Area media artist and educator who taught at the San Francisco Art Institute for three decades

Tonight's program begins with a self-portrait of Broughton and features work from throughout his long, joy-filled career. In Mother's Day, his first solo film and one of the first films of the San Francisco film movement, adults reenact their childhoods. Peter Kubelka called it "one of the great films in film history." This Is It embraces philosophy, while depicting the play of Broughton's two-year-old son. The tableaux-filled, allegorical The Bed depicts almost everything that can happen in a bed, with most everyone naked. The Gardener of Eden, filmed in Sri Lanka, pays tribute to the beauty of nature.
