Franconia’s monthly summer film series highlight the best in art films, past and present. All films take place outside in Franconia’s amphitheatre and will be moved inside in case of inclement weather. The 2022 series underscores our annual curatorial theme of “Land Art & Temporality” in celebration of the 4Ground: Midwest Land Art Biennial.
The August Film @ Franconia screening is First and Last Men, a 2020 Icelandic science fiction film directed by Jóhann Jóhannsson in his posthumous feature film directorial debut. Two billion years in the future, humanity finds itself on the verge of extinction. Almost all that is left in the world are lone and surreal monuments, beaming their message into the wilderness.
