“Born in 1932 in Dresden, Gerhard Richter is considered one of the world’s greatest living painters and now nearly 80 years old, agreed to talk about his work, as a small film crew documents his creative process. Blunt, provocative, unashamedly curmudgeonly, and iconoclastic (but never cynical), the artist says he’s ‘interested in things he doesn’t understand, ‘ that ‘painting is a secretive business, ‘ and that ‘each painting is an assertion that tolerates no company.” – Toronto Public Library We welcome artists, the NPCC community, film buffs and film students from all over the city to come and enjoy this community screening. The collection of films selected for Arthouse Cinema at NPCC have been chosen to offer a source of inspiration, conversation, and connection, and to bring certain artistic elements to light and screen that may speak to artists looking for a creative spark. A short Q&A session will be held at the end of each screening. Admission is free with a suggested small pay-what-you-can donation of $10.00. Complementary beer tastings will be available with thanks to our generous sponsor Great Lakes Brewery and snacks will be available for purchase. No outside food or drinks permitted. Enjoy responsibly.
