David Lebrun: Looking Back, Moving Forward—Program 1: The Sixties (1966–1970)

MoMI welcomes filmmaker David Lebrun for a retrospective of his work from 1966 to today. For nearly six decades, Lebrun has illustrated unique histories with a singular vision informed through his lived experience and achieved with precise technique. Lebrun’s work, which encompasses a variety of genres from experimental animation to documentary, is informed by his background in anthropology, as well as his interest in psychedelia, spirituality, and philosophy. Lebrun invites us to look at the past with curiosity and wonder while imagining possibilities for a shared tomorrow. The series will be presented chronologically across three separate programs. 

Program 1: The Sixties (1966–1970) 

Highlights of this program include Lebrun’s Sanctus, a psychedelic exploration of sacred rituals and the divine essence that connects humanity, and The Hog Farm Movie, a tribute to the revolutionary era of the 1960s and the peace, love, experimentation, and social change embodied by the Hog Farm Collective. Total running time: approx. 78 mins.
