Delivered by Michael Ivins, Master Teacher of Humane Letters at Great Hearts Academies - Chandler Preparatory. 

This presentation will consist of an introduction, screening, and commentary on Chris Marker’s landmark science-fiction short film La Jetée (1962).  The reading will be guided by questions concerning the nature of time and critiques of the classical model of time originated and exemplified by Aristotle and St. Augustine.  Time emerges as a problem for us insofar as we lack a representation of time which adequately articulates our experience of time.

Lecture is at 4:15 p.m. MT. It will also be livestreamed, details below.
