Run time: 94 minutes

Get ready for the 2024-2025 season of Cinéma Art Historique! This free-admission film series is designed to explore the connections between art history and cinema. After each screening, enjoy a Q&A and discussion with Dr. Alex Rich, Executive Director and Chief Curator, about how the evening's film aligns with the histories and stories it strives to tell.

In our final film, Owen Wilson plays Gil Pender, a screenwriter struggling to find inspiration for his first novel. While vacationing in Paris with his wife and her family, Gil becomes nostalgic for the Jazz Age, café society, and the city’s role as inspiration for artistic and literary masterpieces. Each night, as he goes on a midnight walk, Gil is transported to the Paris he fantasizes about, meeting a familiar cast of characters (including Ernest Hemingway and Salvador Dalí) along the way.

Registration is required, and space is limited. The film screening and Q&A will be held in the Polk Museum of Art's Auditorium. Registration opens approximately 90 days before the event date!
