An epic night on the @WhitStillman tour...a completely SOLD OUT house for our special presentation of METROPOLITAN. About a 50/50 split between repeat viewers and first timers, but for all never as great as from this gorgeous 35mm print and with a brilliant Q&A with Whit himself.




LOW QUANTITY ALERT...only 16 tickets left for METROPOLITAN (1990) + @WhitStillman Q&A at Edinburgh Filmhouse on Friday July 26. Meanwhile the 35mm print (and my suitcase) leave Sheffield and head to the venue...final tickets here: tinyurl.com/2k5w8bj2.

Another banger of a screening on the Lost Reels @WhitStillman Tour, this time @HOME_mcr! A packed house, perfect 35mm print, and wonderful engagement by the audience at the Q&A. Many thanks to all involved. All film events should be like this!! Now onto Tyneside Cinema...
