On Wednesday, August 18, at 7 pm, MOCA will host a screening of “East of Paradise,” a film that inspired Claire Fontaine and their “Economies” exhibition. Directed by Lech Kowalski, the film makes a powerful statement about the human condition and explores the extremeness of our experiences. “East of Paradise,” is the last of four films to be screened at MOCA as part of Claire Fontaine’s Moving Image ToolboxThe film incorporates poverty, sex, Rock’and’Roll and death in a (political) commentary on today’s reality. If you never thought a Polish Holocaust survivor could bare bear any similarity to a punk or junkee, Lech Kowalski will tastefully disprove you. Do we really “live in a lie?” And is that lie really “forced upon us by people with power?”  Please join us on Wednesday evening.  We encourage you to share your comments.
