Hartford’s Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art currently is exhibiting ‘The Three of the Chase: The Wagstaff Collection of Photographs’ at the J. Paul Getty Museum. Shown in conjunction with the exhibit will be a series of films about photographers.
The screenings start this evening with ‘Closer’, which plays at 7:00 pm. Mike Nichols directed the film, which considers the subject of infidelity, and is rated R.
Tomorrow, at 7:00 pm, the film is ‘Distant’. Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, the Turkish-language picture considers a photographer whose life is upended when wife his wife leaves him.
On Saturday, November 12, ‘Rear Window’ will be shown starting at 2:00 pm. The 1954 film is a classic from director Alfred Hitchcock, and stars Jimmy Stewart as a photographer stuck in a wheelchair who believes he saw a murder from his window. Before the film, there will be a presentation about the way photographers are depicted in cinema.
The final two films in the series are ‘Dreams’ and ‘Blow Up’. The former is a 1955 Ingmar Bergman movie about a Swedish photographer who is in love with a married man. The latter is a thriller from director Michelangelo Antonioni about a photographer working in London who may have captured a murder on film. Both films show on Saturday, November 19, with ‘Dreams’ at 2:00 pm, and ‘Blow Up’ at 3.30 pm.
