Cinematek: John Ford Season

Date: 
September 29th 2010 - October 27th 2010
Location: 
Baron Hortastraat 9, 1000 Brussels
The Grapes of Wrath

This season CINEMATEK honors JOHN FORD with an extraordinary series of films by America’s most famous director. Ford’s influence on cinema cannot be underestimated. He forged the visual and narrative achievements of early masters as Griffith and Murnau into a seemingly simple and mature style, which profoundly influenced other film makers.

Ford left an enormous legacy, which can only be honored with an extensive program, that spans several months. In September and October, CINEMATEK will focus on the themes FORD, THE IRISHMAN and FORD, THE HUMANIST. In later months, CINEMATEK will review his WESTERNS, his WAR FILMS, his COMEDIES, his ADVENTURE FILMS, and FORD’S view on the BIRTH OF AMERICA.  During the series, CINEMATEK will not only screen the best of Ford’s work, but also invite national and international speakers, who will explore the presented themes.
