DESCRIPTION:\n	Dir. Jean Cocteau. 1932\, 55 mins. 16mm. With Lee Miller\, E
 nrique Rivero\, Pauline Carton. Often mistaken for a surrealist work\, thi
 s is a carefully constructed\, entirely conscious artifact\, mingling symb
 ol and metaphor to project the anguish\, apotheosis\, and corruption of th
 e struggling artist. This entails the passing through the mirror into anot
 her world\, the fantastic combinations of unrelated events in space and ti
 me\, and its brilliant central metaphor: the dynamiting of a huge factory 
 chimney at the beginning of the work\, interrupted in the middle by the fi
 lm’s action and completed only at the end by its total collapse\; an intim
 ation that the film represents the equivalent of a one-second dream. \n\n
 \n	Preceded by: \n	\n	Un Chant d’Amour \n	\n	Dir. Jean Genet. 1950\, 26 mi
 ns. 16mm. With André Reybaz\, Java\, Coco Le Martiniquais\, Lucien Sénémau
 d. Genet’s only film—hounded by the censors\, unavailable\, secret—is an e
 arly and remarkably moving attempt to portray homosexual passions. Already
  a classic\, it succeeds as perhaps no other film to intimate the explosiv
 e power of frustrated sex\; male prisoners in solitary confinement “embrac
 ing” walls\, ramming them in erotic despair with erect penis\, swaying con
 vulsively to auto-erotic lust\, kissing their own bodies and tattoos in se
 xual frenzy. \n	\n	\n	\n	Free with Museum admission on a first-come\, firs
 t-served basis. Museum members may reserve tickets in advance by calling 7
 18 777 6800. For more information about becoming a Museum member and to jo
