DESCRIPTION:\n	With Harrod Blank and archivist Mark Toscano in person \n	\n
 	Presented in collaboration with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sc
 iences \n	\n	  \n	\n	The great documentary filmmaker Les Blank (1935–2013)
  made poetic\, vibrant films that captured the lives\, culture\, food\, an
 d music of people at the periphery of American society. This special tribu
 te to Blank\, who died this April\, consists of three of his most beloved 
 films\, shown in beautifully restored prints from the Academy of Motion Pi
 cture Arts and Sciences. \n	\n	\n	Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe \n	\n	Dir. L
 es Blank\, 1979\, 22 mins. 16mm. Yes\, German film director Werner Herzog 
 really does eat his shoe to fulfill a vow to fellow filmmaker Errol Morris
 —boldly exemplifying his belief that people must have the guts to attempt 
 what they dream of. Inspiring. \n	\n	\n	Dry Wood \n	\n	Dir. Les Blank\, Ma
 ureen Gosling. 1973\, 37 mins. 16mm. A fascinating look at black Creole li
 fe in French Louisiana\, held together by the wild\, insistent music of Bo
 is-Sec Ardoin and Canray Fontenot. \n	\n	\n	Garlic Is As Good As Ten Mothe
 rs \n	\n	Dir. Les Blank\, Maureen Gosling. 1980\, 51 mins. 16mm. This lip-
 smacking foray into the history\, consumption\, cultivation\, and culinary
 /curative powers of the stinking rose features visits to garlic festivals 
 and feasts\, the legendary chef Alice Waters of Chez Panisse\, and a flavo
 rful musical soundtrack. \n	\n\n\n	Presented in collaboration with the Aca
 demy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. \n	\n	\n	Tickets for Friday even
 ing screenings: $12 ($9 for senior citizens and students / free for Museum
  members) and includes admission to the Museum's galleries\, which are ope
 n until 8:00 p.m. \n	\n
