Join us for a new feature-length documentary film exploring the life and work of photo artist extraordinaire Arthur Tress, one of the leading artists in the landscape of postwar American photography. From his early work documenting poverty and environmental degradation in Appalachia, sharecropping in the Jim Crow South, civil rights, urban environmental issues and gay rights to his evolution into magical realism/surrealism – delving into fantastical dreamworlds and continuing today with his evocative portraits of life and nature along the California coast and his haunting images of urban landscapes.

 A lively conversation and Q & A between the audience and Stanford Professor Richard Meyer, Arthur Tress and filmmaker, Stephen Lewis, will follow the screening.
