DESCRIPTION:Jean Cocteau: The Orphic Trilogy\nJuly 5–26\nJean Cocteau (1889–1963) 
 was a poet, filmmaker, artist, journalist, dramatist, and designer, as well 
 as a celebrity and provocateur. He was a creative force at the center of 
 the Parisian avant-garde from before World War I, through the surrealist 
 1920s and 30s, and beyond. His films exemplify the surrealist movement in 
 France. They are dizzy with fantasy, mythology, melodrama, and unhinged 
 experimentation. Nowhere is this more true than in his so-called Orphic 
 Trilogy—three films inspired by the figure of Orpheus, the poet and 
 musician of ancient mythology. For today’s viewer, the trilogy opens 
 doors to Cocteau’s incomparable poetic consciousness.\n\nLe Sang d’un 
 poète (Blood of a Poet)\nJean Cocteau, 1930, 55 min.\nSaturdays, July 5, 
 12, and 19, 1 p.m.\nA landmark of surrealist cinema, Cocteau’s first film 
 attempts to reveal the inside of a poet’s mind and utilizes a panoply of 
 trick effects and extraordinary juxtapositions to do so. Lee Miller 
 portrays a statue that comes to life, opening the way to a world beyond. 
 Enrique Rivero plays the poet.\n\nTickets are available at the museum (no 
 surcharge) or through www.sfmoma.org/tickets (surcharge applies).\n\n$5 
 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission (requires a free 
 ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium). Double features: films 
 offered on the same date are included in one ticket.\n\n
