Film: Anselm

In Anselm, Wim Wenders creates a portrait of Anselm Kiefer, one of our time’s most innovative and important painters. Shot in 3D and 6K resolution, the film presents a cinematic experience of the artist’s work, which explores human existence and the cyclical nature of history, inspired by literature, poetry, philosophy, science, mythology, and religion. For over two years, Wenders traced Kiefer’s path from his native Germany to his current home in France, connecting the stages of his life to the essential places of his career that span more than five decades. Join film educator and artist Gerard Amsellem for this screening, followed by a Q&A.
