Four From Sidney Poitier

Arguably the most important African American actor in screen history, Sidney Poitier appeared in a series of groundbreaking films in the 1960s that directly addressed issues of race in both the United States and Britain. The Dalhousie Art Gallery will show four of these movies on four Monday evenings as part of Black History Month.

Curator's Talk with Steven Loft

Werner Herzog Survey

Along with Wim Wenders, Werner Herzog is the most recognizable of the New German filmmakers who emerged in the 1970s.  His questing, unconventional attitude has resulted in an ongoing career that alternates drama and documentary with a quizzical sense of humour and a generous sense of humanity.  In the last decade, however, Werner Herzog has reached a new plateau of cinematic expressiveness that sees his own bemused personality take centre stage.  We are pleased to present a short retrospective of his work, with a concentration on his most recent films.
