Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait and The Last Dining Table
Artist Spotlight: Pierre Huyghe (Year: 2007; Director: Pierre Huyghe; Writer: Pierre Huyghe)
A presentation of short films that have rarely been screened outside of a museum or art gallery context. Huyghe is one of France's most celebrated young artists. His multimedia installations-which are concerned with collective memory, the construction of narratives, and textures of re-enactment-have been exhibited at museums across the world including the Guggenheim, Tate Modern, and the Whitney Museums.
