Marc Lafia PARADISE (2009, 76 Minutes, Video)
As Solange brings her dream of ‘Paradise' into being: a deconstruction of the messianic, sugar-coated Matrix fantasy, characters become authors who create characters who become authors: a Hoffmannesque nesting of conscious- nesses begins. Solange, a novelist, dreams her family into the future, conjures her characters into the present, and leaves them haunted by an unremembered past. She renames her children Jules and Juliet, makes thEm Lovers, siblings who like to pretend that they are pretending to be sister and brother, and who keep love and memory alive by impersonating each other.

Admission to the whole evening is $6. Tickets are available at the Anthology Box Office on the night of the screening.
