Last week, when I interviewed Whit Stillman on the occasion of Metropolitan’s premiere on Hulu, I asked him what movies he’d recently seen and enjoyed, and though he said that “seeing the trailers puts me off many more films than makes me want to see,” he noted that he did enjoy Sex and the City, which was lensed by his own frequent cinematographer John Thomas. Then, this weekend, Stillman sent me an email:

I spaced badly when you asked about films I’d liked recently. I loved Godfrey Cheshire’s Moving Midway which I saw at New Directors and which is coming out Sept. 12th. I’m going back to my film sales agent days in helping Godfrey trying to find it releases abroad.

Midway, film critic Cheshire’s personal documentary about his cousin’s plan to physically move the family plantation, will be at the IFC Center for two weeks. More info here.
