NYAFF: Day 7
Surprisingly large audience for DOG IN A SIDECAR but also a good audience for KALA and a sold-out crowd for the NYC premiere of Johnnie To’s SPARROW. We called Milkyway Image, Johnnie To’s production company, from onstage before the screening of SPARROW and reached the company’s manager, Shan Ding, who gave us a few words via cell phone before the screening. The audience was so inspired that they wept tears of joy and illumination. We’ll probably call Milkyway again before the July 2 screening of SPARROW. If we can’t bring over Johnnie To, at least we can bug him on the phone.
Let’s take a closer look at that SHAMO drawing:
Feel those rabies! One more screening of SHAMO left on July 2 at 4:40pm (a matinee!).
