Film Screening (In-Person)
Americans in Paris Program Three: William Klein
Anthology Film Archives
In conjunction with the exhibition Americans in Paris: Artists Working in Postwar France, 1946–1962
March 2, 2024–July 20, 2024
As a cinematic sidebar to Americans in Paris, Anthology Film Archives will host four programs featuring American expat artists who are showcased in the exhibition, and for whom living in Paris played a formative role in their lives and artistic development.
The third program focuses on painter, filmmaker, and acclaimed fashion photographer, William Klein, who relocated permanently to France in 1948, where he would create the body of photographic and cinematic work for which he is justly renowned. This screening features rare shorts that that he made for the French television news programs Cinq colonnes à la une and Les femmes aussi in the early-to-mid 1960s.
