The Philosophy Film Club at The New School is hosting a screening of ‘Stalker’ (dir. Andrei Tarkovsky).
You are warmly invited to join us for a screening + discussion of “the movie we need right now” (per Salon), an immersion into “undistracted contemplation” that “abounds with moments of baffling beauty and philosophical heft within its vast finitude.” Our esteemed colleague Olga Knizhnik (PhD Candidate in Philosophy) will help facilitate our pre- and post-film discussion.
----------------------
This semester, an international lineup will take us on cosmic, labyrinthine, miraculous journeys; if that sounds hyperbolic, just wait. Those compelled by form will find ample meta-cinematic gristle, while those wishing to dive into content will meet oceans for us to navigate.
Everyone — whether seasoned in philosophy or without any prior philosophical training — with an interest in philosophy, film, and/or conversation about the meaning of what we experience is welcome! Each screening will begin and conclude with a discussion facilitated by a member of the NSSR Philosophy Department. Snacks and beverages always provided.
Location:
Bark Room (M104), Sheila C. Johnson Design Center (ground floor), 68 5 Ave (2 W. 13th Street at Fifth Avenue entrance)
