The Clark screens three films inspired by the public spaces installation David-Jeremiah: I Drive Thee. Like David-Jeremiah’s work, the films are meditations on performance, drive, and specific ideas of masculinity. They are also watershed moments in film history—moments of technical virtuosity and revolutionary performances—during massive changes in the film industry.

The series kicks off with Bullitt (1968), the greatest car chase sequence ever filmed. The director, Peter Yates, had a deceptively simple, eloquent, and direct style, which was only augmented by Steve McQueen’s straight-ahead performance in this action-thriller. (Run time: 1 hour, 53 minutes)
