8pm Tuesday night at Cinefamily at the Silent Movie Theatre. Tickets - $10
"Monumentally influential director Zbigniew Rybczynski joins us in person for this very special retrospective of his brilliant, original films. It’s impossible to contemplate the consistently imaginative technical and narrative feats of Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze without Rybczynski’s legacy, which includes visionary music videos for Lou Reed, Mick Jagger, and John Lennon, in addition to countless eye-popping innovations in pixilation, optical printing, and animation. His ubiquitous early-80s spots for MTV will likely incite ecstatic convulsions of nostalgia."
Amazing stuff, and a rare event. Not to be missed.
By the way, Cinefamily is the new operator of the Silent Movie Theatre and their programming is incredible. This month alone they have series devoted to Jan Svankmajer, Cults, Amnesia Noir, Korean Cinema, Toho Studios and much more.
