'Adnan being and time' made its world premiere in competition at the Centre Pompidou's 2025 Cinéma du Réel.  It was wonderful to premiere in Paris, where the film began, to sold-out audiences, including a projection in the 395-seat l'Arlequin cinema! 'Adnan being and time' got a lot of love - from the many strangers posting online, to Hanna Schygulla, and James Benning's special shout-out in the awards ceremony. Read CdR programmer Antoine Thirion's description of the film, how it transforms from a visit, to a landscape film, to an exploration of perception. 

'Adnan being and time' was projected in a special preview screening at the National Gallery of Art.  In these times, it felt additionally moving to see Etel Adnan on the largest public screen in Washington, D.C. And what a strong, engaged audience we had for the film, an audience that stayed for nearly an hour to ask questions.  Read about the program here, with additional coverage from East City Art.
