Herewith, our semi-regular round-up of notable film events coming up in New York City:
MONDAY
It’s time for another installment of Flaherty NYC at Anthology Film Archives. This time out they’re showing work by Lee Wang and Laura Waddington, with a conversation moderated by Ariella Ben-Dov. 7:30 PM, Anthology FIlm Archives.
Also: Rooftop Films is showing a program of Wholphin shorts at Chelsea Market. The program is free, and includes free beer. 7pm.
TUESDAY
Legendary documentarian Richard Leacock will be at a special Stranger Than Fiction, to “present and discuss film clips that accompany the autobiography that he’s been writing for several years.” 8pm, IFC Center.
WEDNESDAY
Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams will be on hand for a Q & A after the premiere of Wendy and Lucy at Film Forum. 8pm.
THURSDAY
Nothing seems to be happening on Thursday. If you know otherwise, correct us in the comments.
FRIDAY
Back to Anthology, for a new episode of Catching up with the Kuchars, their recurring showcase of new and old work from brothers George and Mike. 7:30 pm.
Also: the Che roadshow begins at the Zeigfeld. With pretty printed programs!
Thursday is when the stars align and the world recognizes “In Spring” as the best short of ‘08 and “NYFF46″ as the best series of ‘08.
God bless.
I’ll be there Wednesday — everyone should go see Wendy and Lucy this week, it’s one of the year’s best in my opinion. And check out our interview at Slant — it’s a THND link of the day!
