The Films of Joseph Cornell

Not well known is that the master of shadowboxes also loved to make small films.

Some were composed using found materials, while others documented his wanderings in New York.

Part One of a two–part screening of his 30–odd unique and rarely seen films takes place tonight at 7 p.m. at the Egyptian Theater (6712 Hollywood Blvd.) in Los Angeles.

Admission is $8 ($6 for students/seniors; free for Film Forum members).

More information, including the titles, years made, and running times of each of the films to be screened, is available here.

Part Two is tomorrow (Monday, December 12) at 8 p.m. at REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney/Calarts Theater in Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles; 213-237-2800).
