It still hasn't been 365 days since we rolled the first frame of celluloid, yet tonight carves another momentous notch into the headboard of Septien. Not only is it our NYC premiere as part of BAMcinemaFEST—on a more personal note, this means that our movie will be projected in my very favorite cinema room in the whole wide world: BAM's theater 3! I have very fond memories of sitting in this theater and having some of the best movie-going experiences of my life: sitting two rows in front of Robert Altman during McCabe & Mrs. Miller; watching Dead Man with Jim Jarmusch in attendance; the dance party that broke out at the BAM UP ALL NIGHT screening of The Wiz at midnight just days after Michael Jackson passed away (then sticking around for a 2am viewing of Mahogany); James Gray's post-film discussion of Two Lovers; the David Gordon Green programmed Tango & Cash; last month, Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life; and, within just the past two days, Alex Ross Perry's The Color Wheel and Dustin Guy Defa's tour-de-force short film Family Nightmare.
