The Facts
New People's Cinema Club and Unsound New York will present Matthew Barney and Jonathan Bepler's eight-hour cinematic work 'River of Fundament' at the Masonic Hall in New York. The screening, running from 2 pm to 10 pm, includes a live music intervention by Bepler and musicians from the film's cast, with intermissions between three acts. Food and libations will be offered throughout the event. The presentation marks a rare New York showing since the film's world premiere at BAM in 2014.
The Signal
The following day, November 15, a conversation between Barney and Bepler moderated by Andy Battaglia will take place at Public Records, free for ticket holders on a first-come, first-served basis. The event is part of Unsound New York's discourse series in collaboration with Durations Festival. 'River of Fundament' was produced by Matthew Barney and the Laurenz Foundation, with live performance support from the Laurenz Foundation (Schaulager Basel). The screening underscores the continued cultural resonance of Barney's ambitious, mythologically dense film, which blends opera, sculpture, and cinema.
