Film Series
Ballroom Marfa presented the AutoBody Film Program, a series of films related to car culture, in celebration of our visual arts exhibition, AutoBody. The program included the following films:
- Crash, David Cronenberg’s 1996 film adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s novel of the same name. The film — rated NC-17 — tells the tale of a film director slowly drawn into a subculture of people who have transformed car accidents into erotic events.
- Three short films — Matthew Barney’s Hoist, Claude Lelouch’s C’était un Rendezvous, and Kevin Jerome Everson’s The Prichard — followed by Everson’s feature Cinnamon.
- Asif Kapadia’s 2010 documentary Senna about the life and death of legendary Brazilian motor racing champion, Ayrton Senna.
All screenings were held at the Crowley Theater, Marfa, Texas.
