New York Film Festival "Pod"cast: Episode 1, "The All-Grass podcast"
Hello, New York!
As Lars Von Trier said today during his press conference for Antichrist, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!
So to prove the point, I got my old band back together and taken up residence at Grassroots Tavern in the East Village. Our podcast was notable for one reason: we are avid lovers of cinema Brooklyn Lager.
And cinema the $1 popcorn.
Beyond that, I enjoy getting people together to discuss film and especially with what's playing at the festival. So for our welcome back, I'm joined by Glenn Kenny (Some Came Running), Keith Uhlich (The House Next Door, Time Out New York) and my intrepid co-host Vadim Rizov (IFC's Indie Eye) to discuss grass!
Namely, the sheep doc Sweetgrass and Alain Resnais' The Wild Grass. So listen above to Part One and Part Two you'll find below.
But we'll be coming back throughout the week with other takes on films at the festival and--if you happen to find yourselves at Grassroots, come say hello!
(Mp3 download of the podcast is coming. Till then, email me at jlichman AT current dot com if you can't wait.)
Sweetgrass plays at NYFF 2009 on 9/26 at 2 pm. The Wild Grass is the Opening Night Film for NYFF and screens 9/25 at 8 pm.
