MARFA GIRL Q&A with Actors, Producer and Cinematographer Opening Night at the NoHo

by

MARFA GIRL, the new film from visionary director Larry Clark (Kids, Ken Park, Bully), follows Adam, a directionless 16-year-old living in the working class U.S./Mexico border town of Marfa, Texas, and his sexual relationships with his teenage girlfriend; twenty-something neighbor; aggressive local artist; and high school teacher, while an unhinged, misogynistic border patrol agent watches over the neighborhood. What ensues is a web of sex, drugs, and violence as the Latino skater punks adjust to their gritty, aimless life in the dead end town.

MARFA GIRL actors Jeremy St. James and Indigo Rael, along with producer Adam Sherman and cinematographer David Newbert, will participate in a Q&A after the 7:10 PM screening at the NoHo opening night, Friday, March 27 at the NoHo 7.

Celebrate Joan Crawford’s Birthday at the NoHo 7 by Seeing “Possessed” & “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” on the Big Screen!

by

Celebrate Joan Crawford’s Birthday at the NoHo 7 by Seeing “Possessed” & “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” on the Big Screen!Laemmle Theatres and FilmNoirBlonde.com are pleased to present a double feature on Monday, March 23, at Laemmle’s NoHo 7, to mark the birthday of a star from Hollywood’s Golden Age, Joan Crawford.

A gifted actress and the ultimate movie star, Joan Crawford found that by the mid-1940s, her career had stalled. She restarted it with the help of film noir, namely 1945’s “Mildred Pierce,” by director Michael Curtiz, for which she won the Best Actress Oscar. Whether she played a tough broad or a lady in distress, Crawford was especially well suited for the genre’s expressionistic intensity and she starred in many film-noir titles between 1945 and 1962.

On Monday, March 23, Laemmle’s NoHo 7 will pay tribute to her legacy with a special double bill from Warner Bros.: “Possessed” (1947, Curtis Bernhardt) and “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” (1962, Robert Aldrich).

The program will start at 7:30 p.m, with “Possessed” and “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?”  at 9:55. Tickets are $11 each, $15 for the double feature. There will be a special birthday cake for Ms. Crawford’s fans and Warner Archive will provide select prizes.

Click here to purchase tickets for the double feature (cake included).
Click here to purchase tickets for POSSESSED only.
Click here to purchase tickets for WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE only.

Joining the party will be Jacqueline Fitzgerald, founder and editor of FilmNoirBlonde.com. Fitzgerald will introduce the movies.

In “Possessed” (also starring Van Heflin and Raymond Massey) Crawford gives a memorable performance as a woman who can’t get over a bad relationship. In “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” she is Blanche Hudson, a once-glamorous Hollywood actress who lives with her demented sister (Bette Davis), a former child star.

STRAIGHT OUTTA TOMPKINS Q&A’s Opening Weekend at the NoHo

by

In STRAIGHT OUTTA TOMPKINS, Zephyr Benson stars as a forlorn teenager abandoned in New York City who mistakes the welcoming embrace of a Lower East Side drug dealer for the love of family. Quickly falling in with a fast crowd and surfing a high of mixology, pills and the absurdity of the party lifestyle, he quickly learns that these friends come with a price. This film hopes to shine a light on the reality of being a teenager in America these days. With more and more teenagers arriving from overseas to study in America, they are experiencing these issues. Many of them are unaware of the laws and legislation in this country, so they are getting involved with the wrong sort of people.

In America, a lot of underage students will try and experience the nightlife long before they are legally supposed to. With the help of fake IDs, more teenagers are getting into clubs easily. It’s become a lot easier to access a fake ID these days. By just searching how to get fake id online, teenagers will be provided with multiple websites that offer these IDs, allowing them into clubs. Of course, underage drinking isn’t advised, but many people do it. Similarly, many teenagers in America experience drug use and other things at a young age, especially if they mix with the wrong crowds.

This film focuses on the issues that teenagers face in America. Hopefully, people will relate to this story and they should enjoy it when it’s released.
We open STRAIGHT OUTTA TOMPKINS this Friday at the NoHo 7. Writer-director-lead actor Zephyr Benson and producer David Rudd will participate in Q&A’s after the 7:50 PM screening on Saturday, March 7th and after the 3:20 screening on Sunday, March 8th. Hopefully, people will enjoy it and share it with their friends.

FAREWELL TO HOLLYWOOD Filmmaker in Person at the NoHo & Playhouse Opening Weekend

by

FAREWELL TO HOLLYWOOD is a love story unlike any you’ve seen before. The life’s wish of a terminally ill 17-year-old girl, Regina Diane Nicholson, leads to a deep, loving, and controversial relationship with 55-year-old filmmaker, Henry Corra. With mortality’s clock relentlessly ticking, Reggie risks everything to fight for the life, art and love she chooses. Farewell to Hollywood is a raw, unexpected love story, both record and flower of the clear-eyed but utterly romantic commitment of two people to art, poetry, care and the potential beauty of every moment together, to the very end.

FAREWELL TO HOLLYWOOD filmmaker Henry Corra will introduce the 7:10 PM screenings at the NoHo on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 13-15 as well as the 11 AM screenings at the Playhouse on March 14 and 15.
