Running Fence: Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Film and Discussion
(1978, 58 min., directed by David Maysles, Albert Maysles, and Charlotte Zwerin) This film follows the four-year struggle of artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude to build a 24.5-mile fence of white fabric and steel poles through the hills of California’s Sonoma and Marin Counties and into the Pacific Ocean. It celebrates the artists’ vision and accomplishment in the face of bureaucratic hurdles. A conversation with the artists follows.
