Our Eyes, Spinning Like Propellers
"Light is the first visible animal of the invisible." -José Lezama Lima
A weekly international film series curated by Steve Elkins from 2013 - 2019 at Hibbleton Gallery, the Leo Fender Museum, and the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Each month featured an eclectic mix of films ranging from classics to underground cinema connected by a theme, director, or region, often from countries typically ignored by film historians such as Iran, Mongolia, Mali, Uruguay, Kazakhstan, Tunisia and El Salvador. Elkins introduced and moderated community discussion of each film. Whenever possible, directors of the films were present for Q&A. This gallery provides a retrospective of the films, people, publications, and art exhibitions inspired by the series which was named "Best Place To Watch Movies The Rest Of The World Has Forgotten" by OC Weekly in 2013.
