The White Meadows August 12, 2011

A boatman navigates the increasingly brackish waters of a coastal land, collecting the heartaches and tears of its inhabitants. But he remains powerless against their misguided attempts to appease the gods and make the land green again, whether by offering a bride to the sea or “treating” the eyes of a painter who sees in different colors.

This film is part of the Once Upon a Time in the Middle East series in conjunction with the exhibition Gifts of the Sultan currently on view at LACMA.

Admittance to this film includes admittance to a screening of Climates at 9:15 pm.
