THE EXPERIENCE

Join PAM CUT Artist in Residence Julia Calabrese for a special screening of Songs from the Second Floor. In advance of the screening, Julia will discuss how this groundbreaking film influenced her work – including some of the behind-the-scenes, making-of which makes it so special. 

ON SCREEN: Songs from the Second Floor 

2000. Directed by Roy Andersson. Runtime: 1hr 40min. Not Rated.

Following a twenty-five year break from feature filmmaking, Swedish existentialist Roy Andersson reintroduced his singular vision to the world with this by turns bleak and mordantly funny vision of the tragicomic absurdity of modern life. Forty-six seemingly random, deadpan, and precisely composed vignettes depict a mercilessly capitalist world in breakdown. An office worker is fired in the most humiliating way possible; a magician fails at a magic trick; self-flagellating stockbrokers take to the streets; and one desperate man (Lars Nordh) decides to burn it all down.

ON STAGE: Julia Calabrese

Julia Calabrese is a multidisciplinary artist who uses the tools of video and performance to create her visual language. Calabrese combines elements of performance art, dance, set design, theater, and community engagement to make site-specific artworks. She inhabits natural landscapes or constructs immersive environments to explore themes of human frailty, failure, and the absurd. Calabrese’s work focuses on themes surrounding the human body and imaginative possibilities held within existing or constructed environments, unexpected settings, and unfamiliar situations.
