Its our mission to support independent film! Check out the wonderful cinema events coming up. We are bringing world-class film professionals to our little corner of the world. Rather than host a party that is all about Hollywood, we want to use our talents to do what we do best- create opportunity for film education and inspiration all year round. No Oscar event for PTFI in 2012. Enjoy the evening at home in your PJ's!
And if you are thinking about awards shows, don't miss the Indie Spirit awards on Saturday, February 25th on IFC (click here). Our Audience Choice from the 2011 festival, HELLO LONESOME is in the top 5 choices for Best Feature with a budget under $500,000. Hooray for Adam Reid!!
First Tuesday Salon:

The Rose Theatre
THE ARTIST with Special Guest Rocky Friedman
Says the New York Times, "Strictly speaking Mr. Hazanavicius's film is not a silent movie. There is a lot of music on the soundtrack and also a few strategic moments of onscreen noise that are both delightfully surprising and wildly illogical. The whole conceit of the picture is spun in willful disregard of the laws governing time, space and sound, an embrace of the preposterous that is perhaps more reminiscent of the spirit of early French cinema than of the old Hollywood where the action takes place." Awards continue for this remarkable film, once turned away by mainstream distributors, now with 5 Academy Award nominations, Screen Actors Guild for Best Actor, top honors at The Producers Guild and Golden Globes."
Following the screening, join a conversation with Rocky Friedman and PTFI fans as we explore why this film has rapidly become the talk of the industry!
