IFCFirstTake has posted the new, theatrical trailer for Joe Swanberg’s Hannah Takes the Stairs on YouTube, and for your viewing pleasure, I’ve embedded it above. I think it does a bang-up job of sculpting Hannah’s rangy charms into something perfectly palatable for mass consumption.

If you’ve been living under a rock (and/or haven’t read this, this, this or this, or watched this or listened to this), Hannah (and Swanberg, and his crew of fabulously young, talented, beautiful collaborators) were the toast of SXSW 2007. The movie’s theatrical debut on August 22 will kick off the The New Talkies: Generation DIY, the two-week festival of new American indies at the IFC Center here in New York. After playing at IFC for a week, Hannah will be available on video-on-demand via IFC’s InTheaters program, and on August 28, Swanberg’s second film, LOL, will be released on DVD by Benten Films.

This whole chain of events is incredible exciting to those of us who have been watching people like Swanberg and Andrew Bujalski and Aaron Katz carve out their own niche over the past few years. I’m only going to be in town for the first week of The New Talkies (Telluride beckons), but mark your calendars, because I’m nevertheless planning heaps of coverage.
