Leaving in a few hours! Our London premiere is a week away but apparently it’s already sold out. It got a little mention in The Guardian<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

Got this interesting looking Toronto event promo from Colin, who does TIFF’s Midnight Madness series, and it looks of interest to folks interested in science fiction and DIY movie making. Know anyone like that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultra 8 Pictures and CINSSU co-presents DIY Art & Life: A Weekend with Joe Swanberg. Hosted at Innis Town Hall on Sunday May 13th, the event will feature Toronto premiere screenings of the Full Moon trilogy (The Zone, Art History, Silver Bullets<\/em>) by acclaimed independent director Joe Swanberg, with the director in attendance.

WHO\u2019S JOE?
\n<\/strong>Joe Swanberg is an incredibly prolific independent filmmaker who has directed written and directed a dozen feature films since 2005 (Kissing on the Mouth, LOL, Hannah Takes the Stairs, Alexander the Last, Uncle Kent,\u00a0<\/em>among others).<\/p>\n

Smart, challenging, and fiercely independent, Joe\u2019s films have premiered at the Sundance, Berlin and the SXSW film festivals, and established him as a significant figure in the American cinematic landscape. His DIY approach and intimate filmmaking style have won him both critical acclaim and a loyal fan base. For more information on Joe. visit\u00a0http:\/\/www.joeswanberg.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Joe Swanberg\u2019s films haven\u2019t played theatrically in Toronto since 2008, when\u00a0Nights and Weekends\u00a0<\/em>was part of the touring Generation DIY festival. He has attended TIFF as an actor in 2010 for the film\u00a0A Horrible Way To Die\u00a0<\/em>and he was also seen in the 2011 TIFF Midnight Madness selection\u00a0You\u2019re Next,\u00a0<\/em>both of which were directed by Adam Wingard, who photographed Swanberg\u2019s Full Moon Trilogy and stars in\u00a0Art History and The Zone.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nTHE ZONE
\n<\/strong>(71 mins; World Premiere – AFI Film Festival)
\n<\/strong>Larry and Sophia, a young Brooklyn couple, share an apartment with their roommate, Kate. An attractive male visitor arrives and seduces all three of them over the course of a night and the following day. When the visitor disappears as suddenly as he arrived, the delicate balance of the apartment and its inhabitants is disrupted.Q&A with Joe Swanberg after the film<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nSILVER BULLETS
\n<\/strong>(70 mins; World Premiere \u2013\u00a0SXSW Film Festival)
\n<\/strong>An actress and her filmmaker boyfriend experience turbulence in their relationship when
\nshe accepts a role in a werewolf film. The actress connects with her new director while
\nher boyfriend spirals into a dangerous depression.<\/p>\n

\u201cSilver Bullets is the most affecting \u201chorror\u201d movie I\u2019ve seen in a while, as Swanberg ignores
\ntired supernatural scare-flick trappings and locates terror in the shadowy,
\npassive-aggressive process of making, and watching, movies.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0– The Village Voice<\/p>\n

Extended discussion \/ masterclass in DIY filmmaking with Joe Swanberg
\nmoderated by Jason Anderson (The Grid, The Toronto Star) following the film.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
