FRI JUNE 3, 2022 7:00 PM ELEPHANT $8.00 (member) ; $13.00 (general admission) Los Feliz 3 | Q&A with filmmaker Gus Van Sant. Moderated by film critic Carlos Aguilar. ‘BLEAK WEEK: Cinema of Despair’ Series Tickets are no longer on sale for this event.
ABOUT THE FILM: Gus Van Sant’s Palme D’or winning ELEPHANT chronicles a single day at a typical American high school in Portland, Oregon. What begins as an ordinary school day quickly turns into tragedy, as two suburban teenage boys go on a shooting rampage through their school. Van Sant’s controversial cinematic experiment not only addresses the distinctly American phenomenon of mass shooting, but also confronts the hauntingly mundane side of such forms of senseless violence and evil.
