Lo Schermo dell'Arte Film Festival featuring Garrett Bradley at Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi, 7 March

25 February 2025

On 7 March, the annual Lo Schermo dell'Arte Festival of cinema and contemporary art will feature Time, a film by Garret Bradley. Over the course of four evenings, the Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi presents a selection of films from the 2024 edition of the Florentine festival including Andrea Bettinetti, Roual Peck and Rachel Maclean.

Programmed are documentaries dedicated to the protagonists of the art world and artists' films, including Time by Garret Bradley. In this intimate yet epic love story filmed over two decades, indomitable matriarch Fox Rich strives to raise her six sons and keep her family together as she fights for her husband’s release from the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola. Time, which premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, was Bradley’s first documentary feature and what the artist calls a “sister film,” to her 2017 short, Alone.

Across a body of moving-image productions that blend elements of documentary and fiction, cinema and video art, Bradley’s camera situates wider themes in the minute textures of the everyday, exploring her subjects’ struggles and dreams and rooting the sociopolitical in personal and physical experience. Her collaborative and research-based approach to filmmaking is often inspired by the real-life stories of her protagonists.

Friday, 7 March, 6pm at Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi, Venice, Italy.
