Please join us for a tribute program and reception for our dearly departed Bérénice Reynaud. We know that many of you knew Bérénice personally, that you are her students, friends, colleagues, and her audience. It is difficult to synthesize the tremendous scope of Bérénice’s contributions to cinema. She was a champion of filmmakers in all stages of their careers and from countries around the world, a passionate advocate for her students, a sharp, incisive voice during discussions, a dedicated scholar, and the most committed presence at screenings throughout Southern California. She had written and curated since the 1970s, previously working, among many roles, as a correspondent for Cahiers du Cinema, a regular contributor to Senses of Cinema, and as a faculty member at CalArts and Curator of Film/Video at REDCAT.
Bérénice Reynaud was a remarkable, vital, strong-willed, stubborn, brilliant and thoroughly alive woman who touched the lives of thousands of students and filmmakers. Her loss is a profound one for the entire independent film world. We’ll miss her deeply.
Please join us in person or by livestream. This memorial will include speakers, pre-recorded videos, short videos and more, followed by a reception.
The lounge and gallery at REDCAT will also be open.
