Overview

Double Feature
Valley Girl, Michele O'Marah, 2002, 113 min.
Valley Girl, Martha Coolidge, 1983, 99 min.

Video artist O'Marah pays tribute to the favorite film from her youth by re-creating Coolidge's Valley Girl with a cast of friends. Both films offer a modern-day fairy tale that seduces the audience with its idealism; O'Marah employs rudimentary sets and amateur performers to bring Coolidge's characters to life, exaggerating the audience's yearning to believe in the story's fictional world despite its transparency.

$7 general; $5 SFMOMA members, students, and seniors. Tickets are available at the Museum (with no surcharge) or online.
