Films By Diego Marcon and Others

For this screening, Diego Marcon offers a carefully crafted cinematic “playlist” that intermixes a selection of his own recent works and short films by other artists. After spending time with his new film Krapfen in the Renaissance Society’s gallery space, go deeper into Marcon’s distinctive world for this evening program, as he creates ambiguous psychological spaces within his various works and draws on different filmic structures and archetypes. A generous collaborator and advocate for other artists, Marcon expands the view here further through his selection of recent works by other people that resonate with his own films in different ways.

This program can be attended in person at the Logan Center for the Arts, or viewed online in real time via Renaissance TV. The in-person and online screenings will happen simultaneously. All times listed are CDT (Chicago time.)

Presented in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago.
