Czech Dream
Czech Dream is playing at the IFC movie theater in New York. I had the chance to see this on its first run in the Czech Republic a few years ago. It as finally made its way to the states and it is unbelievable. These two filmmakers got a huge grant for a movie from the Czech government and they spent their entire budget creating an ad campaign for a fake shopping center. The Czech Republic is still recovering from Communism and things like cheap WalMart type locals are a big excitement for them.  They interview people doing marketing research and things like that. At the end they film everyone running out to a fake store only to find that there is nothing there. It is really fantastic. This was a big deal in Prague where I was staying because everyone had been tricked just months earlier. There were still a few ads for the center that had not come down yet. I actually ran into the film makers on the street once while I was there. You have to see this movie, go to the IFC now. It is on 6th Ave and 3rd St.
Also, I accidentally woke up at 6:30 PM and I have to leave my house in 30 min, so no updates today probably. I have photos from The Factory and Six Six Sick to go up soon, but they aren’t that great anyway. I will get them up tomorrow. I will be at High Voltage tonight if anyone wants to come hang out.
