“A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
A dream you dream together is reality”
Yoko Ono Lennon
Poetic, absorbing, humorous, unsettling, engaging and unique, the experimental
films made by Yoko Ono and John Lennon in the 1960s and 70s follow no rules but
their own. Some of the most talked-about works in avant-garde cinema, they
remain unavailable on video. Film Love presents five screenings of these rare,
important and highly original works.

YOKO ONO AND JOHN LENNON is co-sponsored by the Atlanta
Contemporary Art Center, and the departments of Visual Arts, American Studies,
Film Studies, and Women's Studies at Emory University.
YOKO ONO AND JOHN LENNON is a Film Love event, programmed and hosted by
Andy Ditzler for Frequent Small Meals. Film Love promotes awareness of the rich
history of experimental and avant-garde film. Through public screenings and
events, Film Love preserves the communal viewing experience, provides space for
the discussion of film as art, and explores alternative forms of moving image
projection and viewing. Film Love was voted Best Film Series in Atlanta by the
critics of Creative Loafing in 2006, and was featured in Atlanta Magazine's Best
of Atlanta 2009.
