Experimentations 8.33 | David Lebrun: Proteus
Los Angeles Filmforum is a community partner for two screenings of works by David Lebrun at UCLA that also fit in their PST ART: Art & Science Collide public screening series Experimentations: Imag(In)ing Knowledge in Film.
From the hippie counterculture of the 1960s to Tibetan and Mayan mythologies, Lebrun seeks cinematic forms that draw out the radical specificity of his subjects while simultaneously revealing their interconnectedness across time and place. Proteus centers on the fascinating life and career of 19th century German naturalist Ernst Haeckel and his obsession with radiolarians, a species of microscopic marine protozoa.
