On Sunday, Nov. 5, REDCAT presents a public tribute program in honor of writer, curator, and longtime CalArts School of Film/Video faculty Bérénice Reynaud.
The program begins at 1 pm in the REDCAT theater, featuring short videos and a special screening of Chantal Akerman’s 13-minute debut film “SAUTE MA VILLE” (1968) with live cello accompaniment by Jennifer Bewerse. The tribute is also joined by in-person and recorded speakers, including filmmakers, producers, curators, educators, and friends. Following the program is a reception in the lobby until 5 pm. The event, which is free and open to all, will also be livestreamed.
Reynaud, who passed away in September, is remembered as a fierce advocate of the global film community and a scholar who introduced her students to and engaged them in conversation with various esteemed filmmakers. She and School of Film/Video faculty emeritus and former dean Steve Anker were the founding co-curators of the Film at REDCAT series from its inception in 2003, through which they curated hundreds of programs featuring works by boundary-pushing artists.
“Bérénice touched the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of artists and film lovers,” School of Film/Video Dean Abigail Severance and Anker shared in a joint statement to the CalArts community. “Tenacious, totally dedicated and unerringly brilliant, she was truly one of a kind.”
REDCAT’s gallery will be open until 6 pm. Please note that masks are required inside the theater and will be available at the door, but not needed outside the theater or during the reception.
As digital content and social media producer, Taya enjoys lifting up the stories and accomplishments of CalArts' students, alums, and faculty. She fancies herself a visual artist but is really more of an overzealous collector of art supplies.
