Netherlands, 2006, Heddy Honigmann
The late Peruvian-born Dutch documentarian Heddy Honigmann made fascinating films about interesting and unusual subjects. One of her best works is this profile of Paris’ Père-Lachaise Cemetery, the final resting place of artists ranging from Chopin and Proust to Édith Piaf, Maria Callas, and Jim Morrison. But the movie doesn’t just document gravesites; it also captures living fans who visit these shrines and continue to find inspiration in the work of long-gone greats. “A film about a place of death giving meanings for life.” –Chicago Tribune. Subtitles. 35mm. 95 min. Special admission $12; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $9. No passes. https://icarusfilms.com/if-fore
