SUMMARY:Film screening of 'Queen of Hearts: Audrey Flack'
DESCRIPTION:Join the Rose Art Museum for a special screening of the acclaimed 2019 documentary “Queen of Hearts: Audrey Flack\,” an intimate and illuminating portrait of one of the most dynamic and uncompromising artists of the 20th century. The film offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from Flack as she reflects on her groundbreaking career\, her fierce independence\, and her role in shaping Photorealist painting on her own terms. \nBefore the screening\, guests are encouraged to take part in a docent-led tour of “Photorealism in Focus\,” which features two of Flack’s striking paintings: “Family Portrait (Farb Family Portrait)” (1969–1970) and “Shiva Blue” (1972–1973). The exhibition brings together pioneering and contemporary artists who explore the relationship between painting and photography\, inviting us to reconsider realism\, perception\, and the stories artists choose to tell. The tour offers valuable context for the film and a deeper understanding of Flack’s bold vision within the movement. \n2:30 p.m. — Docent tour of “Photorealism in Focus.” Rose Art Museum.\n4:00 p.m. — Film screening. Wasserman Cinematheque.

SUMMARY:'Six Days In Spring' North American premiere
DESCRIPTION:A single mother—who is determined to give her twin boys a spring vacation after her original plans collapse—trespasses at her former in-laws’ luxury villa on the Riviera\, a place she once called home. Joined by the twins’ soccer coach\, secretly her boyfriend\, they cautiously savor six sun-drenched days. Directed by Joachim Lafosse (“The White Knights\,” BWF 2015)\, the film simmers with an ever-so-slight tension beneath its radiant setting. \nSpeaker: Haleigh Burgon\, a PhD candidate in French and Francophone Studies at Boston University. Her dissertation investigates how French and Francophone women writers and creators use representations of motherhood and memory to exercise resilience and articulate creative agency. Her research focuses particularly on Francophone literature and film from North Africa and the Caribbean\, with attention to gender\, postcolonial identity\, and narrative voice. \n“Six Days In Spring” will screen as part of Belmont World Film’s 24th International Film Series\, “Thicker than water\,” exploring the ties that bind—and sometimes limit us—through an intimate and far-reaching collection of stories about families in all their complexity. Across cultures and continents\, these films ask what we inherit\, what we carry\, and what we owe one another. \nThe series unfolds over eight consecutive Mondays at the West Newton Cinema. After a two-week break\, the series returns in June with three additional remarkable films in recognition of World Refugee Awareness Month and Pride Month. \nFor complete details on the films in this series\, visit our web site.
