FANTASTIC

Here’s a couple of my photos from our little celebration after SUHA screened at the Fantasia Film Festival…

LE FANTASTIC WEEK-END DU COURT METRAGE

 

So if you weren’t able to get a ticket to see SUHA at the RVCQ in Montreal last winter…then now is your chance to catch her on the big screen again. I couldn’t be happier to announce that SUHA will be screened at the FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL this July along side some great Québecois shorts. All the info about the screening and tickets can be found by clicking HERE. Hope to see you there!

NEW DIRECTORS / NEW FILMS

We just got back from NYC where our film SUHA was screened at the NDNF film festival this past week. We were fortunate enough for SUHA to be screened two nights in a row with the feature film “THE MAN NEXT DOOR” at the MoMA and Lincoln center. It was a major thrill to see SUHA on such a big screen and playing in front of such a diverse crowd…everyone from NDNF  and  the crew at the MoMA & Film Society of Lincoln Center did a fantastic job of putting together an incredible festival featuring a ton of great films (the Bizarre friends of Ricardinho & Last train home & J’ai tué ma mere). For a sneak peek at our little journey from Montreal to New York…see my photos below. More to come soon…enjoy!

Nicely shot documentary which I recently found on YOUTUBE…well worth checking out. Enjoy!

RADIO

Chris ‘Zeke’ Hand did a follow-up interview with me following the Montreal premiere of SUHA. The interview was Originally broadcast on the Tuesday Morning After show on CKUT 90.3 FM Montreal. Feel free to give the interview a listen below. Enjoy!

SUHA’S MONTREAL PREMIERE

The Montreal premiere of SUHA was graciously hosted by the RVCQ last Thursday night in Montreal…and what a night it was! Many attended the sold out short film screening which included 4 other shorts (including my favorite “LA NEIGE CACHE L’OMBRE DES FIGUIERS” by Samer Najari). If you didn’t get a chance to see SUHA, then be sure to ask me about the $5 dvd’s while there are still some left. Enjoy! (photos by DAN POPA & ROBBY REIS)

THE MAN NEXT DOOR

THE MAN NEXT DOOR (El hombre de al lado) by Mariano Cohn & Gastón Duprat is the feature length film which will be screened just after my short film SUHA at the ND/NF festival in NYC next month. The star of this dry and wicked black comedy is a building: The Curutchet House in La Plata, south of Buenos Aires—the only residence designed by Le Corbusier in the Americas. In this Argentine satire about class, the love of beautiful things, and violent urges, the landmark structure plays the fictional home of world-famous interior designer Leonardo and his wife and daughter .I haven’t seen it yet but I’m quite eager to catch it on the big screen and I’m honored to have my film screen just before it. Check out the trailer below. Enjoy!

SUHA DVD’S ARE HERE!

The first batch of SUHA dvd’s have arrived and can be purchased for only $5 each (for a very short time only)! The packaging was designed by DAN POPA at NATALI FILM. Enjoy!

SUHA IN NYC

The NEW YORK TIMES has released the line-up for the NEW DIRECTORS/NEW FILMS festival which will take place next month and I’m thrilled to announce that SUHA will be part of the festival this year! For more info visit the NDNF page.

Looks like we’re getting to speak our minds about SUHA once more on the airways. Jessica, Siraj and I will be interviewed bright and early (7:10AM) on CKUT 90.3FM March 2nd. So if you’re up early…listen in!
