Screening: Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?

Michel Gondry, 2013. Color – Animation. 88 min. DCP.
With Noam Chomsky, Michel Gondry. In English.

Introduced at 7:30pm by film journalist Anne-Katrin Titze.

In this one-of-a-kind film, Michel Gondry—the innovative director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep—interviews theoretical linguist, philosopher, political activist, and controversial MIT professor Noam Chomsky.

As the conversation unfolds, Gondry delves into Chomsky’s theories on the emergence of language with playful, hand-drawn animations. The result is not only a dazzling, vital portrait of one of the foremost thinkers of modern times, but also a beautifully animated work of art.

“A thoughtful examination of both director and star.” —IndieWire
