Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler: Grand Paris Texas


June 13 - June 15,2020

Note: This event is online-only. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is providing free screenings of selected film and video work from their collection by leading contemporary artists. This exclusive online screening event marks the first time Grand Paris Texas by Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler can be seen in its entirety online. The program starts on June 13. Grand Paris Texas, 2009, is a cinematic exploration of the physical and social space of an abandoned movie theater in Paris, Texas. The Grand theater serves as the main protagonist in a film that patiently observes life in Paris, a town made famous by Wim Wenders's 1984 film Paris, Texas, which used the city's name but was not actually filmed there. Hubbard / Birchler's film interweaves three storylines: a film crew recording the bird-infested interior of the Grand; interviews with Paris residents who reflect on the abandoned movie theater, on films in general, and on Wenders's Paris, Texas in particular; and Hubbard / Birchler's surprising discovery of a partially erased video tape found at the local video store.
