About the Pop-Up Film Exhibit on view at LC State Center for Arts & History Jan 21-Feb 15

Each year, approximately ten million people visit the Louvre, and according to Henri Loyrette, the Louvre’s former director, “eighty percent of the people only want to see the Mona Lisa.” But how many people actually look at the famous painting? How many simply take a selfie? 

#monalisa is a contemplation of human behavior and a meditation on looking. As film scholar Scott MacDonald observes, “The film is interesting on many levels, both for what it reveals about this moment in cultural history and for how it relates to the history of moving image media.” 

Jennifer Anderson is an associate professor of English at LC State, where she serves as the faculty advisor for Talking River Review, the college’s student-run literary journal. Her creative nonfiction has been published in Fourth GenreBrevityThe Missouri Review, and elsewhere. In addition to #monalisa, she and her filmmaking partner, Vernon Lott, have made four feature documentary films as well as one short.
