Independent Film Week is a NYC-wide promotional effort encouraging us to see more films at first-run independent theaters by providing an incentive of free concessions and free access to hear directly from filmmakers and actors about the process of making their movies. Produced by IFP, the weeklong celebration kicks off with the NY premiere of the Magnolia Pictures' release of Rodrigo Garcia's "Nine Lives" on Monday, September 19th. The week concludes with a retrospective and conversation with Glenn Close, one of the featured actors in Garcia's film, on Thursday, September 22nd. Independent Film Week is one of IFP's numerous initiatives designed to nurture the development of new work while expanding the audience for more filmmaker-driven projects. In total, film-goers will have an opportunity to attend six public events Monday, September 19th through Friday, September 23rd and redeem a promotional coupon at nine first-run theaters throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens to receive a free popcorn and soda with the purchase of a movie ticket.
