The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is a lovely place to see a film. Wednesday night’s screening of Albert Alcalay: Self Portraits brought out a rich mix of die-hard film fans, Fort Worth Modern devotees, KERA members and even a Harvard alumnus who had taken classes with Alcalay in her college days. After the credits rolled, a fascinating discussion between filmmaker Rob Tranchin and the audience covered such topics as the current whereabouts of Alcalay’s wife (too camera shy to be on screen), his vibrant use of color (he champions form first) and his teaching style (paper strips and spray paint).
KERA Channel 13 re-airs Albert Alcalay: Self Portraits on Monday, Nov. 24, at 8 p.m.
