Lots happening in the indie film world in the next little bit as we head into summer (Rooftop weather--yay!). On Wednesday evening, as well, the IFC Center will host the Media That Matters Film Festival. Ah, the life of a New Yorker, choices, choices, choices. Pretty poster this year, too.
The next evening, Paley will screen the American premiere of Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives with Mark Everett. Everett is the creative force behind the indie band Eels and he'll be there to introduce the US premiere of this BBC doc. The film follows Everett's journey to understand the discovery his father, Hugh Everett, contributed to physics, the theory of parallel worlds. Post-screening, some prominent physicists will join Everett to talk about his father's work and legacy fifty years on. I will be the first geek in line for this one. You also don't want to miss the opportunity to hear and see (he's very lovely) the wonderful Brian Cox. I would wager this one will be a sell-out.
RSVP required to kfarina@paleycenter.org, free for IDA members.
