post-screening Q & A with director James Fotopoulos
In this "Lynch-like vision of the rotting underbelly of Middle America" (Stephen Holden, The New York Times), the downfall of a lingerie model is portrayed against the depressing, menacing milieus of the men she caters to, including an angry, jealous, middle-aged failure and his strange, no-necked friend. James Fotopoulos presents this dark, sinister story as a three-part feature in the unnerving, highly original style that has made him a major figure of the underground cinema. Director James Fotopoulos will be on-hand to introduce the film and answer questions after the screening. James is in Austin serving as one of the panel members of the Texas Filmmakers Production Fund, AFS's 11-year-old grant program for Texas filmmakers. |
August 29, 2007, 9:30pm Regal Arbor Cinema at Great Hills "...works on the principle that the most hideous reality can't compare in horror to the shadowy, paranoid phantoms that lurk in the back of our fevered minds." - New York Times "...a full sensory immersion into broken-down lives so seedy and desperate as to make the denizens of Cassavetes' "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" seem like the players in a candy-colored musical comedy." - Variety Ticket information
