wkw returning to apple store soho

Over at iW, we’re thrilled to announce today that, while he is in town for the New York Film Festival screenings of “Ashes of Time Redux,” Wong Kar Wai will return to the Apple Store Soho for an indieWIRE Q & A. This one should be really unique, WKW will be on hand to talk about music and film, including clips from his work. NY Press critic Armond White will moderate the conversation. The event is next Saturday, October 4th at 3 p.m. Limited seating, arrive early.

overheard in the hamptons

At an East Hampton hotel yesterday afternoon, I overhead the following exchange:

WOMAN: “...I have such respect for the help…”

MAN: “Oh, I know, me too. That’s why I always try to smile when I walk past them.”

WOMAN: “They work so hard.”

Hamptons flashback: July 28. 2004.

The Austin Chronicle bids farewell to SXSW film fest producer Matt Dentler, who has now officially joined Cinetic (working remotely from Texas before moving to NYC next month). Recalling an early fest moment, Denter relates a particularly fun memory:

“I remember my first year at South by Southwest when I was an intern…the one person in the entire room that I was starstruck by was John Pierson.”

At the Apple Store Soho yesterday, a large crowd filled the theater 45 minutes before Wong Kar Wai appeared. A dispatch from the event report is available at indieWIRE.com.

in nyc | wkw

Today is Wong Kar Wai day in New York City. The filmmaker will be at the Apple Store Soho at 7 p.m. for an indieWIRE Filmmaker Talk (seating is limited on a first come, first served basis). Dennis Lim will moderate the conversation about his upcoming film, “My Blueberry Nights.” One of my favorite filmmakers, WKW has been at the top of our wish list for the Apple series since we launched it.

Nearly two years ago, I spotted Wong Kar Wai leaning against a doorway near Canal St., shooting scenes from the film and snapped this photo from across the street.
