Jeremiah Zagar's first feature film is a beauty. It's fresh off the festival circuit (it world-premiered at SXSW last year) where it has garnered numerous awards. I saw it at Woodstock in October where it won for Best Documentary and Best Editing; you can read my impressions here.
The film releases theatrically in the next few weeks starting with a four-city run, and will then expand to other cities in April and May.
Zagar's In a Dream was one of fifteen films shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and is nominated for two Cinema Eye Honors this Sunday night for Best Achievement in Music Composition (a new category) and Outstanding Achievement for a Debut Feature (which Jennifer Venditti won last year for her film, Billy the Kid).
International Film Circuit will exhibit the film in New York at The Cinema Village, starting Friday April 10; in Philadelphia (where the Zagar family resides and where the film takes place) at the Landmark Ritz at the Bourse and in San Francisco at The Roxie, starting Friday April 17; and in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Music Hall, starting Friday April 24. Spring is in the air and the docs are at the neighborhood cinemas--yes!
