Also returning to the festival is the Criterion Cinema Festival - where the best of what Criterion has to offer will be available for your viewing pleasure in a big auditorium where you can rest your tired bones. The films run all weekend (3 days) in a nice, quiet area - a good a place as any to gather your strength as well as your wits.
This announcement could not have come at a better time for me. These are my favorite 3 days of the entire year, every year. With the recent split of Kitty Green and I it will be good to have something pure and illuminating to look forward to. Myself and my yearly ATP crew are the stuff of legend and we'll be rocking this year harder than ever before. I love you ATP, bring it right the fuck on!
Happy
Good for you DA! I am glad you will be swimming in a sea of awesomeness. HUGS!
I may have to go check that out. Dulli is awesome and with Lanagan on the bill I hope there's some Gutter Twins stuff.
WAIT WAIT WAIT. THE ROOTS and lOUIS c.k. IN THE SAME NIGHT? HOLY SHIT!
