    Movies at the Museum: Here is Always Somewhere Else

    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.
