Erased James Franco
At multiple locations
In this special collaboration with the Castro Theatre, we present Erased James Franco, artist Carter's new video homage to Robert Rauschenberg's iconic Erased de Kooning Drawing, starring local favorite James Franco. Three films screened over the course of the day prepare you for the main event at 8:00 p.m. In a double-feature matinee at SFMOMA, watch Todd Haynes's Safe, the inspiration for some of the scenes in Erased James Franco, and episodes of the cult-favorite TV show Freaks and Geeks hand-picked and introduced by Franco, who starred in the series. In the evening, head to the Castro for John Frankenheimer's Seconds, which is also revisited in Carter's new film, followed by Erased James Franco and a discussion with both actor and filmmaker.
Tickets for each double feature are $10 general; $7 SFMOMA members, students, and seniors. Tickets for the SFMOMA screenings are sold out. Tickets for the Castro Theatre screenings are available at the Castro Theatre (429 Castro Street, San Francisco) or online.
