Fata Morgana (1971) 1h19m
Directed by: Werner Herzog
Friday, November 20th | 6:30 PM
Free to Members| $10 Non-members | RSVP Required

Film Description:

Partly mystical, partly absurd, this early film by Werner Herzog evokes the chimerical visions of a desert mirage, re-framing and making strange different documentary images of life and decay in the Sahara. Film historian Lotte Eisener reads a Mayan creation myth and unlikely musical choices further twist and confuse our sense of place.

Before the screening, guest speaker Ryan Tracy, PhD—artist, writer, and scholar—will introduce the film with a presentation titled "Landscape Abstraction: Werner Herzog Against Himself," followed by a post-screening discussion. Light refreshments provided. Donations appreciated.

It’s that time of year again! KINOSAITO is now accepting submissions for our 2026 Community Art Benefit! All artists, from the Hudson Valley and beyond, are welcome to apply to have their work included in this 6-day exhibition.

We are thankful for the love and support our community has given us, and we want to continue working together to maintain a space for artists of all disciplines to create. The selected works will be exhibited salon style at KINOSAITO, with sales encouraged, though not guaranteed.

We will host an opening reception on December 12th, with refreshments and a musical performance. This event is an opportunity for artists to show and sell their work – a fundraiser for the artists and KINOSAITO as we head into our sixth year of operation. For pieces that sell, the artist retains 50% of the sale price, and KINOSAITO accepts the remaining 50% as a donation from the artist.

Film Description:
In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastic story about 5 mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances.
-Philadelphia Film Society

Vines is an alumna of the SUNY Purchase Cinema and Television Studies Program. Vines has served as a student juror in the film festival “Nouvelles Vagues” and worked in film programming at SUNY Purchase as the coordinator of the FMS Weekly Screening Series.
