Film Series: “Danh Vo Selects”
A series of films selected by the artist to accompany his exhibition, “Danh Vo Selects” takes places on Saturdays during the month of March.

The Ballad of Narayama (1983), dir. Shohei Imamura, 130 min.
March 24, 5 pm
Still strong at the age of 69, Orin prepares herself for an inevitable yet horrifying ritual. In her village, where food is scarce, life is harsh and people are desperate and cruel. Anyone who lives for 70 years is hauled to the mountaintop by their children and left to die in the dead of winter. Orin is prepared to accept her fate, but she also has one last, all-important task—she must find a suitable wife for her son, Tatsuhei.

Screenings take place in the New Media Theater, Level B, and are free with admission. For more information, visit guggenheim.org/films.
