JULY Schedule:
July 3 – “Walk on Water” (2004, 1h43m, Israel, Thriller by Eytan Fox)
A hardened assassin poses as a tour guide to befriend the grandchildren of an elderly Nazi war criminal in an attempt to track him down. Heavy themes balanced with quiet humor and emotional depth.
July 10 – “Men at Work” (2006, 1h15m, Iran, satirical comedy by Mani Haghighi)
Returning from a failed skiing trip, four middle-aged, middle-class friends spot an enormous, strangely shaped rock protruding from a cliffside. They casually decide to try and push it over the edge. What starts as a silly joke turns into an obsessive, day-long mission that tests their friendships and exposes deep-seated personal frustrations.
July 17 – “Barbara” (2012, 1h45m, East Germany, Drama by Christian Petzold)
Summer, 1980. Barbara, a doctor, has applied for an exit visa from the GDR (East Germany). Now, as punishment, she has been transferred from Berlin to a small hospital out in the country, far from everything, where she balances her plans to defect with unexpected feelings for a colleague.
July 24 – “Theatre of Mr. & Mrs. Kabal” (1967, 1h20m, France, Animation/Comedy by Walerian Borowczyk)
A series of loosely connected vignettes structured much like a vaudeville show, this “feature-length animated film for mature adults” is about a grotesquely mismatched but strangely loving couple who perform absurd, surreal, and sometimes cruel acts in a desert full of strange flora and fauna.
July 31 – “Band of Outsiders” (1964, 1h 35m, France, Crime/Comedy by Jen-Luc Goddard)
Two impressionable young men in Paris enlist the help of their naive, beautiful English-language classmate to rob her aunt’s lavish villa. Part crime caper and part romantic comedy, the French New Wave film deconstructs the gangster genre while delivering iconic, playful dance sequences and impromptu sprints through the Louvre.
Flooded Poetry & Prose
Poetry & prose open mic every Monday at 6:30 PM, starring YOU plus occasional Featured Readers!
All styles of poetry/spoken word are welcome! Eight minutes per reader. Supportive listening room in a gallery setting.

about us
Flood Gallery Fine Art is a non-profit contemporary art organization dedicated to bringing excellent, provocative art to Asheville from artists working around the world. We seek out art that is provocative, challenging, daring, relevant, and important. We believe that there are great things happening in the world of art, and we want to bring those things to Asheville. We want to put a thumbtack on the map of the Art World. In our first three years, we showed works by artists working in Los Angeles, Prague, New York, Georgia, Florida and here in Asheville. In our fourth year, we hope to bring fully-funded exhibition and residency programs for professional working artists from around the world.
