I had the great good fortune to notice that IFC is hosting the premiere of Hal Hartley’s latest films. I made tonight’s big screen showing of classics Surviving Desire, Ambition and Theory of Achievement. His new films are showing tomorrow 4/22. I picked them up on DVD and learned the Hartley is now back in New York after a handful of years working in Berlin. My interview with him from 2007 (in collaboration with Claire Adas) is archived here.
I’ll be hosting a movie night soon for these four new shorts.
