KINOSAITO is commited to an environmentally-thoughtful approach to sustainability and development. This equipment complements existing solar panels on our School facility and ensures that we will remain a net-zero organization. We sought these improvements because our community programming has evolved and expanded exponentially, allowing us to develop sustainably while respecting our environment.

Fata Morgana

20 Nov. 2026 | 6:30pm | $10

Free for Members | RSVP Required

Fata Morgana (1971) 1h19m

Directed by: Werner Herzog

Partly mystical, partly absurd, this early film by Werner Herzog evokes the chimerical visions of a desert mirage, re-framing and making strange different documentary images of life and decay in the Sahara. Film historian Lotte Eisener reads a Mayan creation myth and unlikely musical choices further twist and confuse our sense of place.

Before the screening, guest speaker Ryan Tracy, PhD—artist, writer, and scholar—will introduce the film with a presentation titled Landscape Abstraction: Werner Herzog Against Himself, followed by a post-screening discussion.

Light refreshments provided. Donations are appreciated.
