Ep. 225: MoMA Double: Dave Kehr on Buñuel in Mexico + Joshua Siegel on the 20th To Save and Project

Ep. 225: MoMA Double: Dave Kehr on Buñuel in Mexico + Joshua Siegel on the 20th To Save and Project Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week's episode is a MoMA Film Department double feature! First I chat with Dave Kehr, curator in MoMA's department of film, about their grand Buñuel in Mexico series, featuring the surrealist maestro’s often underappreciated era, with films such as Los Olvidados, El, Nazarin, and El Gran Calavera. Then Joshua Siegel, curator in MoMA's department of film, joins to discuss To Save and Project, the museum’s annual festival of film preservation, celebrating its 20th anniversary edition. We cover a tantalizing slice of the selection including Bushman (David Schickele), Toute une nuit (Chantal Akerman), Undercurrent (Kozaburo Yoshimura), Blues People (Skip Norman), and shorts by DEVO.
