At the Crisalide Film Festival, Tarr?s films Damnation, Satan Tango and The Werckmeister Harmonies will be shown. Mihály Víg, who has composed many of the soundtracks for Tarr?s films, will be a special guest of the festival.
Damnation, which was made in 1987, but was not shown in France until 2005, earned Tarr a France Culture award in Cannes. In addition to the screening at the Crisalide Film Festival, the film will be shown in Locarno in mid-September and afterward at the ?Literature and Translation? international conference in Bellinzone.
Satan Tango will also be shown at the ?Il Vento del Cinema? festival on Procida Island in late September.
On September 25, Tarr is slated to be awarded a lifetime achievement award at the Split Film Festival in Serbia. Damnation will be shown at the festival.
