### **ABOUT THE EVENT:** The American Cinematheque is both delighted and saddened to say goodbye to Volunteer Manager Nancy Winters with this special screening of BARAKA in 70mm. Join us as we thank Nancy for more than 35 years of hard work, leadership and support and give her our best wishes as she embarks on a new chapter. ### **ABOUT THE FILM: ** Originally shot in 25 countries on six continents, BARAKA brought together a series of stunningly photographed scenes to capture what director Ron Fricke calls “a guided meditation on humanity.” It was a shoot of unprecedented technical, logistical and bureaucratic scope that would take 30 months to complete, including 14 months on location, with a custom-built computerized 65mm camera. “The goal of the film,” says producer Mark Magidson, “was to reach past language, nationality, religion and politics and speak to the inner viewer.” FORMAT: 70mm COUNTRY: USA
