IFC CENTER EVENTS
If you’re not a member of the IFC center, maybe it’s time to join as they have some cool events coming up.
On Monday, June 18 at 7:00pm & 9:15pm Charles Burnett will appear in person to introduce his groundbreaking feature Killer of Sheep, along with his short film, Several Friends. Tickets are free for IFC Center members and are available at the box office. Tickets for non-members are on sale for $11.
An IFC press release:
KILLER OF SHEEP was one of the highlights of IFC Center’s Year Two, as New Yorkers discovered this amazing film thirty years after it was made. Charles Burnett was out of the country working on a new project when we opened this film in April, so he has not been available to present a screening to IFC Center audiences. But, with the film entering its twelfth and final week, Burnett is fortunately able to join us now not only to talk about KILLER OF SHEEP, but also to present the New York premiere of SEVERAL FRIENDS, his very first shortfilm from 1969. Thanks to Milestone Films, we will also be giving away KILLER OF SHEEP posters to the first 100 attendees at each screening.
Also, Matthew Barney will be present at the IFC center on June 20th to introduce his short De Lama Lamina as well as other select shorts. The event will commcence at 7:30. Tickets are on sale now for members ($15). Non-members will have to wait to the day of to purchase seats not claimed.
An IFC press release:
Last year, art/film icon Matthew Barney (The Cremaster Cycle) gave us one of the popular hits of IFC Center’s Year One with Drawing Restraint 9. On June 20, Barney will be at IFC Center to present three of his rarely-screened short films. DE LAMA LAMINA (2004), a collaboration between Barney and Arto Lindsay, is a stunning depiction of man confronting nature, fueled by Lindsay’s music, in the face of the spectacle of Brazilian Carnaval. Also on the bill are SCAB ACTION (1988), Barney’s first video work, along with DRAWING RESTRAINT 13 (2007), a filmed performance from Barney’s most recent exhibition in New York.
