Screening & Live Event
UFE (Unfilmévénement)
With director César Vayssié in person
Made possible with support from French Cultural Services, French Embassy.
Dir. César Vayssié. France. 2016. 153 mins. U.S. Premiere. In French with English subtitles.
A unique experiment in live theater and film, César Vayssié’s remarkable collaborative project UFE (Unfilmevenement) centers on a group of young people who plan spectacular artistic, and political, actions, attacking the role of television in an effort to create social chaos. A kidnapped TV anchor is held hostage in a remote villa in the Alps. The location becomes an arts workshop and a base camp for political action, populated by actors, revolutionaries, and a rock band. While it evokes the cinematic essays of Jean-Luc Godard and the theatrical playfulness of Jacques Rivette, UFE is a unique and timely experience that exists only in one copy at a time.
Tickets: $15 (Free for members at the Film Lover level and MoMI Kids Premium levels / free for Silver Screen members and above). Order tickets online. (Members may contact members@movingimage.us with questions regarding online reservations.)
All tickets include same-day admission to the Museum (see gallery hours). View the Museum’s ticketing policy here. For more information on membership and to join online, visit our membership page.
