Film screening: In the Eye of the Spiral

In conjunction with the exhibition Frantz Zéphirin: Selected Works, Images Cinema and the Williams College Museum of Art are pleased to present a screening of the documentary In the Eye of the Spiral on Tuesday, October 25, at 6:45 p.m. at Images Cinema, 50 Spring Street, Williamstown. The 2014 film details the artistic and philosophical movement born in Haiti known as Spiralism, which spans artistic disciplines, and touches upon spirituality as well as politics. Featuring narration by Annie Lennox and the music of Brian Eno, the film sheds light on the state of a country hit by corruption and natural disaster, and the incredible will of Haitian artists who produce art as a personal form of redemption and survival, Frantz Zéphirin among them.
The free screening will be introduced by Jordan Horton, WCMA Mellon Curatorial Fellow. A Q&A with the film’s director, Raynald Leconte, will immediately follow the screening. Tickets available until max capacity, courtesy of Williams College Museum of Art. Frantz Zéphirin: Selected Works is on view through December 4, 2022.
