Dear friends,
Ken Jacobs was afraid there was not much publicity for this screening so I am
spreading the word.
Best wishes!

This program, featuring the theatrical premieres of MoMA’s restored Urban
Peasants and recent digital works by Jacobs, acknowledges the legendary
avant-garde filmmaker’s enduring engagement with the “folk art” of the amateur.
Ken Jacobs will join us to introduce a new work, to be announced.
Urban Peasants. 1975. USA. Directed by Ken Jacobs. 60 min.
Using silent home movies, shot in Brooklyn by his wife’s aunt Stella Weiss in
the late 1930s, and a Yiddish-language recording, Jacobs fashions a moving
meditation that plays on our awareness of the Holocaust accumulating abroad on
the eve of the Second World War.
Things to Come. 2019. Directed by Ken Jacobs. USA. 35 min.
Jacobs’s hypnotic “3-D” adaptation of New York 1911, a long-forgotten Swedish
documentary restored by MoMA in 2017, is representative of his current work.
