Two American Audiences

New York Film and Video Council

Special screening of Two American Audiences, celebrating the life of D.A. Pennebaker and the 89th birthday of Jean Luc Godard.

Macaulay Honors College

Join us on Tuesday, December 17 as the New York Film and Video Council celebrates the life of D.A. Pennebaker and Godard’s December birthday (89!) with the rarely-seen Two American Audiences, a film Penny made in 1968 with NYFVC member Mark Woodcock. Presented in collaboration with CUNY’s Macaulay Honors College.In the spring of 1968, Godard traveled to the U.S. to promote La Chinoise (distributed by Leacock-Pennebaker) and make 1pm with Penny and Ricky. As part of the promotion, Godard spoke to a group of NYU film students about his cinematic ideas, a conversation which the distributors filmed and Mark Woodcock turned into Two American Audiences. The 40min film, paired with Godard’s longer A Movie Like Any Other, premiered in a now-infamous screening in late December 1968, where an audience of 1000, after voting on which half of the film to play first, booed and hissed and ultimately largely walked out, complaining they could not understand the translation. Contemporary reports suggest the audience was much more appreciative of Two American Audiences.What: Two American AudiencesWhen: Tuesday, December 17, Reception @ 6:30pm, Films @7pmWhere: Macaulay Honors College, 35 W. 67th Street (the former Makor building)RSVPs: Free and Open to All.
