3rd in the PICASSO FILM SERIES Thursday Nov 5 at NASHER MUSUEM of ART

FILM: LIFE BEGINS TOMORROW (Nicole Védrès, 1949, 86 min, France, French with English subtitles, B&W, DVD)
A Special screening of Nicole Védrès's rarely shown semi-fictional meditation on the future of mankind after the advent of Atomic Energy!
Many prominent French artists and intellects contribute to the narration:
Jean-Pierre Aumont plays "The Man of Today,"
Andre Labarthe is the "Man of Tomorrow," and
Jean-Paul Sartre, Daniel Agache, Jean Rostand, Le Corbusier, Pablo Picasso and Andre Gide are respectively seen as "The Existentialist," "The Psychiatrist," "The Biologist," "The Architect," "The Artist" and "The Author".
Film clips of hospitals, schoolrooms, scientific laboratories, and even nightclubs are woven into Védrès's fascinating tapestry.
This Meetup is organized to take in the FILM, so officially we will meet at 6:45 PM in front of the Auditorium entry. The FILM BEGINS at 7 PM
For those who would like to come EARLY to the NASHER, there is an EXTRA BONUS------Thursday Nov 5th is their "FIRST THURSDAY" of the month, and they announce a CASH BAR at 5:30, and at 6PM a Free GALLERY TALK with Sarah Schroth, the Nancy Hanks Senior Curator and Carolina S.
