Chris Marker's Bestiary + The Case of the Grinning Cat November 9, 2012

Celebrate the life and work of legendary French filmmaker Chris Marker (1921-2012) with this double feature. The Case of the Grinning Cat (2004) takes us meandering through Paris, ostensibly in search of a series of mysterious grinning cats whose stenciled image has sprung up in the most unlikely places as the filmmaker reflects on international politics, art and culture at the start of the new millennium. Marker’s Bestiary is a collection of 5 shorts devoted exclusively to animals - a subject matter that insistently pops up throughout his work.
