The Danish Collector: Delacroix to Gauguin (Exhibition on screen)
Playing at Pickford Film Center90 minutes, France, In English, Documentary Rated NR: _ For many years no-one was interested in the art of the Impressionists. Artists like Monet, Degas and Renoir were vilified, attacked, and left penniless as a result.
Then, something remarkable happened. A new breed of collectors emerged and, before long, they were battling to acquire any work by these new, radical artists that they could find. Amongst them was the visionary Danish businessman Wilhelm Hansen. It was an extraordinary moment in art history; full of drama, intrigue and subterfuge.

The Souvenir: Part II
Playing at Pickford Film Center108 minutes, UK, In English, Drama Rated R: for some strong sexuality, and language Directed by Joanna Hogg
The Souvenir: Part II is a companion piece to The Souvenir (2017). The original follows a film student, Julie who, while pursuing her filmmaking, becomes romantically involved with a man who, it is clear, is wholly untrustworthy and whom we desperately wish she’d extricate herself from. The Souvenir ends in tragedy — and Part II then picks up where the first film left off, with Julie trying to make sense of the tragedy and of her previous romantic relationship, by way of making a film about it.
Part II, as such, is a beautifully complex study of both grief, loneliness, and of how art (specifically cinema) intersects with and can channel (and maybe redeem) grief and forge a way into new connections.
Audiences won’t necessarily need to see the first film first to see Part II, though the first is also very much worth seeing (and it’s streaming now on Kanopy, accessible via the wcls website for library patrons).
