RAP/CLARK CONFERENCE FILM SERIES: THE L.A. REBELLION—KILLER OF SHEEP

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 6 PM
AUDITORIUM

In celebration and anticipation of the Clark’s Research and Academic Program (RAP) 2023 Conference, “The Fetish A(r)t Work: African Objects in the Making of European Art History, 1500–1900,” the Clark presents a series of films from the Los Angeles School of Black Filmmakers, better known as the L.A. Rebellion film movement.

Like a slow crescendo, Killer of Sheep became one of the L.A. Rebellion’s most widely celebrated films for years.The focus is on slaughterhouse worker Stan (Henry Gayle Sanders) whose dispiriting job wears him down, alienates him from his family, and becomes an unspoken metaphor for the ongoing pressures of economic malaise. Killer of Sheep achieves a deeply felt intensity with nonprofessional actors and handheld location shooting.

Free. More information. Accessible seating available; call 413 458 0524.
