 April 09, 2008
7 PM, The Fine Arts Theatre
Unoccupied Zone: The Impossible Life of Simone Weil
This event is $5 for non-students and free to UNCA and WCU students with ID.
This portrait is not simply an account of Simone Weil’s life, but rather the skein of her ideas.
The film, shot in 16mm black-and-white, stages the “theatre” of her mind through a mise-en-scene whose rear screen projections of live-feed video and archival newsreels antagonize the spectacle of biographical reconstruction being played out by actors before it. The screen serves to distance the viewer from the fiction of fact while also representing Weil’s own definition of a human life as “a composition on several planes.” |
