The reason I give props to YouTube? I was recording a trailer for the movie I had planned to show tonight, and the algorithm queued up the trailer for this. I had never heard of it, nor was I familiar with the work of director, Alice Rohrwacher. So… it turns out that I don’t know a lot about a lot of things… but the trailer grabbed me, and I set to “work” watching it. I was blown away, as were our guests tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I say set to work<\/em>, I mean that I feel it’s my duty to know a film before I show it to a group of trusting people who make the effort to schlep to Alphabet City for NewScreen. I made an exception recently for Hundreds of Beavers<\/em>, which I just KNEW would be fantastic, and wanted to be on the discovering side, along with my guests. Good call. What a crazy ride!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case you’re interested, the film that got “bumped” tonight was All Your Faces (Je verrai toujours vos visages)<\/em>. That would have been a great screening as well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundreds of Beavers<\/em> was not the first unseen feature I’ve ever shown. Many many years ago, I found myself in a Blockbuster (remember them?) and managed to get my hands on their last copy of the recently released The Hurt Locker<\/em>, which I showed unseen at MovieNight<\/a>. As it turned out, my instincts were good ))<\/p>\n\n\n
