Everything that Jack Waters & Peter Cramer do in LE PETIT VERSAILLES is formidable (with the French pronunciation bien sur) and tonight’s soirée under the stars is no exception. I will be screening my short film “Atalanta” (see a clip here) as part of their “Let Us Eat Cake” Bake Sale Fun-raiser to celebrate Bastille Day. Join us in the darkness and the light.

“Atalanta 32 years Later”
by Lynne Sachs
5 min. color sound, 2006
from 16mm film original
A retelling of the age-old fairy tale of the beautiful princess in search of the perfect prince. In 1974, Marlo Thomas’ hip, liberal celebrity gang created a feminist version of the children’s parable for mainstream TV’s “Free To Be You and Me”. Sachs dreamed up this new experimental film reworking, a homage to girl/girl romance dedicated to film dynamo Barbara Hammer.
“Very gentle and evocative of foreign feelings.” George Kuchar
With Kenneth Anger’s L’Eau D’Artifice and other surprises.
