The Cinema Too Must Be Destroyed: The Films of Guy Debord in San Francisco, CA on August 7, 8, 14 and 15. Learn more and get tickets here.

PM Press and City Lights Books are presenting a four-day Guy Debord film retrospective to celebrate the new edition of Debord’s Complete Cinematic Works, edited and translated by Ken Knabb, along with recent re-releases such as The Society of the Spectacle and Situationist International Anthology, and a collection of Knabb’s own writings, The Joy of Revolution and Related Texts.

Friday, August 7, 7:00 pm: Four early short films
Saturday, August 8, 7:00 pm: The Society of the Spectacle
Friday, August 14, 7:00 pm: In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni
Saturday, August 15, 7:00 pm: Guy Debord: His Art and His Time

*Tickets for each evening are $7-$10 sliding scale, but no one will be turned away.

Guy Debord, founder of the Situationist International and fomenter of the May 1968 revolt in France, was also the creator of seven tantalizingly inaccessible films. Following the still-unsolved assassination of the films’ producer in 1984, all the films were withdrawn from circulation for nearly twenty years.

In 2001 Debord’s widow Alice began rereleasing the films and she asked Ken Knabb to translate the scripts into English. He agreed and his translation of Debord’s Complete Cinematic Works was published in 2003. A revised and expanded edition of that book has just been published by PM Press.

To celebrate this new edition, PM Press, City Lights Bookstore, and Artists’ Television Access are presenting a four-day Debord retrospective at the ATA theater (992 Valencia St. in San Francisco) on two successive weekends in August. All of Debord’s films will be shown and Ken will be on hand to introduce each film and answer questions.

Technically and aesthetically, Debord’s films are among the most brilliantly innovative works in the history of the cinema. But they are not so much “works of art” as carefully calculated subversive provocations. In each film Debord simultaneously attacks the film medium itself, challenging spectators to wake up and create their own adventures instead of losing themselves in the maze of pseudo-adventures presented for their passive consumption.

Debord’s Complete Cinematic Works includes detailed scripts of all seven films, 62 illustrations, several documents, and extensive annotations. You can buy it at City Lights Bookstore or order it direct from PM Press. PM Press has also recently reissued Ken’s translations of the Situationist International Anthology and of Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle and published the new collection of Ken’s own writings: The Joy of Revolution and Related Texts.

Writer Gabriel San Román joins us for a virtual conversation with fellow journalist Roberto Lovato. Together they’ll discuss  San Roman’s new book, Days of Dissent, about the strikes and forgotten martyrs of the labor movement. Learn more and register here.

In Days of Dissent: Revolts, Strikes, and Rebel Histories, Gabriel brims with defiance recounting the rebellious history that has reshaped the United States and the world. In a subverted “this day in history” format, and rising from his Subversive Historian commentaries on Pacifica Radio, a story is told for every day of the year with poignant vignettes about protests—no matter how big or small.

Gabriel San Román is an award-winning journalist and author. He has investigated political corruption as a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, written long-form histories for OC Weekly and voiced the Subversive Historian radio series on Pacifica Radio. He is also the author of Venceremos: Víctor Jara and the New Chilean Song Movement (PM Press). He lives in Orange County, California.

Roberto Lovato is an award-winning journalist, the author of Unforgetting: A Memoir of Family, Migration, Gangs, and Revolution in the Americas, a “groundbreaking” memoir the New York Times picked as an “Editor’s Choice.” His work has appeared in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Guernica, Le Monde Diplomatique, La Opinion, Der Spiegel and other national and international media outlets. Lovato has reported on numerous issues—violence, terrorism, the drug war and the refugee crisis—from Mexico, Venezuela, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Haiti, France and the United States, among other countries.

This event is organized in collaboration with PM Press as part of their All We Have Is Each Other Speaker Series.
