Movie: Faust at SPACE Gallery

About this event

Faust is an odd selection but SPACE Gallery is showing it in partnership with Puppets in Portland - so why not? Jan Svankmajer’s ***Faust*** is a rendering of the infamous Dr. Faustus fable of temptation and damnation. Borrowing freely from both Marlowe and Goethe and ancient folktales and timeless myths, the story follows a lonely Czech businessman who sells his soul to the devil in return for 24 years of self-indulgence. A visually fantastic combination of live-action, claymation, puppet theater, stop-motion animation, and other special effects, Svankmajer creates an unsettling universe presided over by diabolic life-size marionettes and haunted by sinister human messengers from hell. Movie is approximately 97 minutes long - it is in Czech with English subtitles. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased here: [https://space538.org/event/faust-2/](https://space538.org/event/faust-2/) Please plan to arrive around 12:45 so we can find seats together.
