The Menil Collection and Aurora Picture Show copresent an outdoor screening of short films organized in conjunction with the Menil’s exhibition Collection Close-Up: Bruce Davidson’s Photographs. In response to Davidson’s work, the program features short experimental films that explore humanity’s struggles as seen through the lens of political and social activism and personal reflection. The films weave together portraits of individuals, cultures, and environments and thus give voice to these perspectives.
