About this Event

Join us for a special tribute to legendary filmmaker Lawrence Jordan, presented as the closing event of the Studio 8 Film Festival. Held at SFMOMA’s Phyllis Wattis Theater, this rare screening will feature a curated selection of Jordan’s visionary collage animations and surrealist shorts — with Lawrence Jordan in attendance.

🎬 Featured Films:

  • Water Light
  • Pink Swine
  • Cornell, 1965
  • Our Lady of the Sphere
  • Masquerade
  • Winter Light
  • Postcard from San Miguel
  • The Egg

Lawrence Jordan’s works span over six decades and are rich with mythic resonance, surreal imagery, and a deeply poetic sense of motion and time. This is a rare opportunity to see these films on the big screen and hear directly from the artist himself.
