Jim McBride and Stanton Kaye in-person
presented in association with Tosca Cafe & Cabinetic
introduced by Tom Luddy
Cinematheque proudly presents two justifiably legendary filmmakers—Stanton Kaye and Jim McBride—and four feature films (plus a short) in their long overdue and most welcome return to San Francisco. Of the initial film in this first evening of double-features, Canyon/Cinematheque’s own Ernest “Chick” Callenbach instantly praised Georg, writing that it “establishes its visual authority immediately... produc[ing] a film image which stands squarely on its own—often of a touching or funny kind, but always solid, demanding no concessions and full of ironic ramifications.”
Something of a cause-and-effect, Georg in a sense begat David Holzman’s Diary, arguably the White Light/White Heat of American independent cinema: limitedly distributed in its initial release yet profoundly influential among those that saw it and unquestionably a landmark of its era. In Jim McBride’s …Diary, filmmaking is the process. Filmmaking is the objective. Filmmaking is the obsessive “everything” in this highly subversive and imaginative pseudo-documentary. (JONATHAN MARLOW)
