Leonora Carrington lived one of the 20th century's most extraordinary artist lives, from Surrealist circles in Paris to a new life and career in Mexico, and Leonora in the Morning Light brings that story to the screen. The Roxy's New York premiere puts directors Thor Klein and Lena Vurma onstage afterward with Pam Grossman, a writer on witches and magic in art. For anyone who fell for Carrington's paintings, this is the screening to catch.
What to expect
The film screens in the Roxy's intimate single-screen theater, then the filmmakers sit down with Grossman for a moderated conversation and audience questions. The Roxy's concession stand serves cocktails and snacks. Expect an art-world and Surrealism-curious crowd.
Good to know
