Fata Morgana + Wild Blue Yonder Screening
Machine Project – Echo Park, CA
9/25/11

Looking for something to do? Well, Machine Project will be screening Werner Herzog’s Fata Morgana. A complex superior mirage, of the same name, forms above the pristine horizon of the desert as the recurring image of his sci-fi allegory, while languid shots of arid landscapes are set to the sombre melody of Leonard Cohen.

To top it off, Machine will also feature his other sci-fi re-imagining, Wild Blue Yonder. A film which juxtaposes space footage from NASA with diaphanous creatures gracing the seemingly uninhabitable waters of Antartica. An abysmal world so cold and alien to the moderate climes of planet Earth, you may as well be on the frigid rings of Saturn.

Please join Machine Project for a autumn solstice double-feature of Werner Herzog’s beautifully poetic musings of worlds beyond our own.
