The Drawing Center Presents a Screening of Ellen Berkenblit's LINES ROAR

Come to a screening of Ellen Berkenblit's first film Lines Roar (2018) with a live score by Zeena Parkins.

Ellen Berkenblit's first film Lines Roar (2018) presents a look into her process. Concentrating on the explosive nature of Berkenblit's line, the film features familiar motifs from her paintings and drawings: a long-nosed female, a tiger, a stiletto. Lines Roar intermingles autobiographical footage taken by Berkenblit in both her home and studio. Also interlaced throughout the film are photographs of Berkenblit's family and images taken by her father, who was an amateur photographer and chemist. The result is a film that combines Berkenblit's life with her work, an intimate look at what drives the artist's practice.

Organized by Brett Littman, Executive Director.

Lines Roar was created by Ellen Berkenblit in collaboration with directors Mónica Brand and Francisco Lopez of Mogollon. The score of the film features music by Zeena Parkins. This film was commissioned by The Drawing Center and co-produced by Anton Kern Gallery.

Ellen Berkenblit: Lines Roar is made possible by Rhiannon Kubicka. Special thanks to Anton Kern Gallery.
