AMERICAVILLE-A Film By Adam James Smith- -Skype Q and A with director following
screening, film running time 80 minutes
“Hidden among the mountains north of Beijing, a replica of the Wyoming town of Jackson Hole
promises to deliver the American dream to its several thousand Chinese residents. In
"Americaville", Annie Liu escapes China’s increasingly uninhabitable capital city to pursue
happiness, freedom, romance, and spiritual fulfillment in Jackson Hole; only to find the
American idyll harder to attain than what was promised to her.”

THE PROPOSAL- A Film By Jill Magid- Post film panel discussion of architects of note and their
archives, film running time 83 minutes
Known as “the artist among architects,” Luis Barragán is among the world’s most celebrated
architects of the 20th century. Upon his death in 1988, much of his work was locked away in a
Swiss bunker, hidden from the world’s view. In an attempt to resurrect Barragán’s life and art,
boundary redefining artist Jill Magid creates a daring proposition that becomes a fascinating
artwork in itself—a high-wire act of negotiation that explores how far an artist will go to
democratize access to art.
