" Personally, I find this film a masterpiece. A total masterpiece. I can't explain it… Suddenly, it's mankind, the whole earth that speaks – the earth in the ancient sense of mother. But it is not even the earth that speaks, it is the humus… It's incredible: everything is there. " - Henri Langlois, Écrits de cinéma The Philosophical Research Society's 7th House Screenings is proud to present a rare screening of Philippe Garrel's mythic, long difficult to see surrealist masterpiece THE INNER SCAR ( La cicatrice intérieure, 1972), its first LA screening in nearly a decade. Starring legendary doom folk icon Nico (Garrel’s decade-long partner and muse) and featuring songs from her classic album Desertshore (its cover photo is a still from the film), Garrel casts a dreamlike spell in what is a wholly singular cinematic trip – one that, in its sheer visual mysticism, sits beside the likes of The Holy Mountain and The Color of Pomegranates . Pierre Clementi and Garrel himself co-star alongside the striking one-time Velvet Underground chanteuse and her young son Ari – their mysterious figures traversing (in often seemingly impossible tracking shots) the barren, otherworldly landscapes filmed in Death Valley, the Sinai Desert, and Iceland. Enigmatic, alluring, and existential, Garrell described the film as a record of what was going through his mind at the time and advised “one mustn’t ask yourself questions while watching…it should be watched for pleasure, as one can take pleasure from walking in the desert." An ethereal and hypnotic marvel of acid drip slow cinema that demands to be seen on the big screen! Dir. Philippe Garrel, 1972, 60mins, France, French & German w/ English Subtitles, Unrated (ADULT AUDIENCES ONLY), Digital. Special thanks to Philippe Garrel, Pip Chodorov and Diana Vidrascu of RE:VOIR, and Bernardo Rondeau.

Photojournalist and founder of Refugee Eye, Lara Aburamadan recounts the ugliness of war and the endless cycle of Israeli bombardments in her native Gaza, in an effort to fight the dehumanization of Palestinians, bring about social change, and promote peace. In conversation with Ipek S. Burnett, a Turkish-born author and psychologist; these writers discuss in what ways exile gives them freedom to write, create, or advocate— and in what ways the draw of “home" limits that expression.
