One of the many things that made
Saturday Night Live so special in its early years
and beyond was the short films of Tom Schiller. La
Dolce Gilda and Java Junkie capture
the spirit of their moment far better and with more
grace and less fuss than many more impressively funded
and weightily conceived movies.
Like Schiller’s
delightfully loopy 1984 feature Nothing Lasts
Forever, which was never released in theater,
they have a lightness of touch and a pleasure in pure
invention that brings a little romance back to movies
and moviemaking.
Join us for a rare screening of Nothing Lasts
Forever and a selection of Schiller’s
shorts. Michael Streeter, the author
of Nothing Lost Forever: The Films of Tom Schiller,
and Zach Galligan, the star of Nothing
Lasts Forever will be on hand to
celebrate Tom Schiller and his unique place in American
comedy. Special guest Bill Murray
is expected to make a cameo appearance and of course,
Mr. Schiller himself will be in the
house keeping things lively! |
