About That Popular 'Black Films Don't Sell ...Restored 'Portrait Of Jason' To Premiere at Berlinale This Week (And An NYC Opening Soon)
Having seen the film many years ago, I can attest that it's a remarkable and honest film that is never less than compelling.
Fortunately, Milestone's fundraising efforts were successful and they completed the restoration work on Clarke's film, and announced that news would be coming soon about an eventual release.
Now Milestone has just announced that the restored Portrait of Jason will make its world premiere at the 63rd Internationale Filmfestspiele Berlin or (in plain English) the 63rd annual Berlin International Film Festival and European Film Market tomorrow on Weds Feb. 13th.
After that, the film will have its U.S. premiere in New York in April at the IFC Center. And after that, it will have other U.S. openings in other cities, before an eventual DVD release.

Shirley (the cool world/ornette:made in america) Clarke is yet another, underrated indie filmmaker, thank god for DVD.

Awesome news. All of Shirley Clarke's movies need to be made available. PORTRAIT OF JASON is a gem. FYI, For those who can't make it to NYC, it's coming to Philly's International House in late May.
