So, youve been wanting to catch up on your French avant-garde cinema? Chicagoist thought so. Tonight, University of Chicago professor James Lastra in conjunction with the Terra Museums exhibition A Transatlantic Avant-Garde: American Artists in Paris: 1918-1939 will give a lecture on the subject at Alliance Française (located at 54 W. Chicago). Following his talk will be a light reception and a screening Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalis surrealist classic and inspiration for the Pixies Debaser Un Chien Andalou. (If you see it, Chicagoist dares you not to get the theme music stuck in your head.) The event only costs $10, but reservations are required. Call (312) 337-1070 to save your spot.
