A veteran of the spoken-word scene, two-time National
Slam Champion Roger Bonair-Agard releases his debut
book, Tarnish and Masquerade, with accompanying CD
full of spellbinding poems. These poems chart an
exile's coming-of-age and an increasingly relevant
immigrant's experience.
Director Ry Russo-Young presents a film-as-art
projection that puts a personalized and distinctly
modern spin on the Hitchcock classic Psycho. Three
separate women play Marion Crane -- now immortalized
by Janet Leigh and a certain shower scene-in three
different scenes. Official selection Tribeca Film
Festival and won Best Experimental Film at 2005
Chicago International Film Festival and 2006 SXSW Film
Festival. Director will be at the salon
Deathdealer: A Documentary follows an angel of death
played by Punk Rock musician and poet Henry Rollins as
he goes about his daily work suited and booted,
hanging out in diners and acting like a regular guy --
moaning about his hum drum life -- the film is about
the need for change and how we can make them -- told
in a humorous and typically rollin-esque fashion.
Directed by Andy Watts. Film provided by
Filmmovement.com
From Academia Internacional de Cinema in Brazil comes
7 Grilos/ 2 Cachorros (7 Crickets/ 2 Dogs) by Roberto
Andreolli. This stylized and colorful film interprets
a popular Brazilian poem.
