Flirt (Hal Hartley, 1995)
Legendary American scholar and critic Tom Gunning has changed the way we think about film history and the future of the medium, profoundly influencing generations of academics, artists, and film lovers. On Sunday, April 27, Film Comment Editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute will host a live conversation with Gunning and curator David Schwartz at the Museum of the Moving Image, following a screening of Hal Hartley’s Flirt (1995), an experimental narrative of love and loss in three cities.
The event is part of a multiday series of screenings and discussions organized by Schwartz at venues including MoMI, Anthology Film Archives, and Light Industry, marking the publication of a new collection of Gunning’s writing, entitled The Attractions of the Moving Image: Essays on History, Theory, and the Avant-Garde. Our conversation will be available to listeners on the Film Comment Podcast the following week.
