Hot NYC Events
Oh dear - nothing for weeks and then I just can’t stop the posts coming! There are some great film events coming up though that I feel I must share.
Manda Bala is opening at the Angelika tomorrow - this intense and beautifully made documentary about Brazil was a favorite of mine at Sundance earlier this year and I’m really looking forward to seeing it again, outside of the film fest bubble.
And then next week The New Talkies: Generation DIY comes to the IFC Center. If you read Matt Dentler’s blog you’ll know all about this series - it features many SXSW alumni and includes the theatrical openings of Hannah Takes the Stairs and Quiet City, both of which I was sorry to miss at SXSW so I am very excited about finally getting to see them. Speaking of SXSW, you can sign up for the SXSW News Reel on their website and get a daily email dose of film news, including lots of links to blogs, articles and online videos.
Finally, Jeremy and Randy Stulberg’s Off the Grid: Life on the Mesa is playing tonight at the Lincoln Center and then again on Tuesday at the IFC Center as part of the Slamdance Documentary Showcase. I have only seen a rough cut of this film so it’s definitely time to see the finished product.
