CORAL GABLES MUSEUM

Alien Nation
Untill March 14

As communities all over the world face a modern-day pandemic, people are left to a new societal order. Concepts such as isolation and distancing, as well as technological connectivity, appear to acquire unprecedented meanings today. While many suffer from a lack of face to face communication, the bytes and metadata of unbounded Internet have become tyrannical. The shocking disruption and death caused by the Coronavirus, the unprecedented economic toll, violations of human rights, and immigration issues, all exponentially intensify a sense of alienation and anxiety. Acutely sensitive to their environment, artists often voice awareness of these problems, while having the gifts to turn our societal troubles into inspiring visual poetry.

Christopher Plummer is mind-blowing. It’s a great film.” – Mike Sargent, “The unforgettable films of 2017,” PBS NewsHour

Directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day), The Man Who Invented Christmas shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens, the beast in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast) mixed real-life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today.
