A fascinating, unflinching portrait of the late pho-tographer Francesca Woodman, told through the young artists work (including experimental videos and journal entries) and remarkably candid inter-views with her artist parents Betty and George (a ceramic sculptor and painter/photographer), who have continued their own artistic practices while watching Francescas professional reputation eclipse their own. The soundtrack of the film was written by KSFNM featured composer David Lang and performed by KSFNM artists S Percussion.

Join us for a screening of the film in the Clayton Gallery in the Bailey Center on Thursday, February 14, preceded by a performance of an excerpt from the film score and a discussion by S Percussion.
