About the film

Here is Always Somewhere Else

2007

Directed by Rene Daalder

103 min

In 1975, thirty-three-year-old Dutch-Californian artist Bas Jan Ader set out to cross the Atlantic in a thirteen-foot cruiser for a performance piece titled In Search of the Miraculous. He never returned. In a film that’s part unsolved mystery, part artist survey, director Rene Daalder chronicles his friend’s disappearance while also presenting Ader’s conceptual work.

Films are presented free of charge on Level 3 at 7 p.m. Starting at 6 p.m., drinks and free popcorn are available at the museum café, SO.
