| Pierre Bismuth |
| “Über-cool”* French artist Pierre Bismuth comes to FAC for three great events.
Bismuth won an Academy Award for the screenplay of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman. In The All-Seeing Eye, Bismuth and Gondry revisit the diquietening themes of memory and erasure. Bismuth deploys humour to disorientate the viewers’ understanding of existing cultural forms. The Jungle Book and Ibhayibhile engage Bismuth’s love of language to revisit familiar stories.
