Richard Myers in Person!
United States | 1969 | Richard Myers
Roger Ebert called the breakthrough feature by longtime Ohio filmmaker Richard Myers “a work of overpowering originality” and “the most influential film since Godard’s early work.” Shot on 16mm in and around Akron, Akran is a dazzling, fragmented vision of the alienation and turmoil of late 1960s American life. Myers, who won the 2014 Cleveland Arts Prize for Lifetime Achievement, calls his magnum opus “an anxious allegory and chilling album of nostalgia.” A discussion with Myers will follow the screening, and the film will be shown in a new print restored by the archive of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. 16mm. 118 min.
