Film screening about world renowned photographer Gregory Crewdson, titled “Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters” directed and produced by Ben Shapiro. Crewdson has created some of the most gorgeously haunting pictures in the history of the medium. His meticulously composed, large-scale images are stunning narratives of small-town American life—moviescapes crystallized into a single frame.

While the photographs are staged with crews that rival many feature film productions, Crewdson takes inspiration as much from his own dreams and fantasies as the worlds of Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch, Edward Hopper and Diane Arbus. Shot over a decade with unprecedented access, this film beautifully bares the artist’s process, as it also features a mesmerizing collection of his work.

The meeting will feature a group discussion after the screening. The film is 1h 56 minutes long, it will be played in English along with English captions.
