What is Fly Filmmaking? An extremely artistic, creative, and stimulating form of filmmaking in which local filmmakers and actors are able to showcase their skills, collaborate with other artists, and premier their work at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF)! Based on the incredibly short duration of time allotted to the filmmakers and actors, this process can be referred to as "on the fly," hence the name: Fly Filmmaking.

When: June 5th - 7th, 2008, SIFF Premiere on Saturday June 7th @ 4:00 p.m.

Where: At a Pacific Northwest Reservation and in Seattle, WA on Capital Hill

As many of you know our LONGHOUSE MEDIA offices happen to be located at the hottest cinema for independant film in Seattle, NORTHWEST FILM FORUM, this week they are screening a brand new print of David Lynch's Eraserhead. Thought you might be interested. Here's details:

NOV 30 - DEC 6, Friday-Thursday at 7, 9:15pm
30TH ANNIVERSARY ENGAGEMENT
NEWLY RESTORED 35MM PRINT
ERASERHEAD
(David Lynch, USA, 1977, 35mm, 108 min)

One of the truly groundbreaking works of American cinema, ERASERHEAD is the first and boldest feature film from celebrated auteur David Lynch (BLUE VELVET, MUHOLLAND DRIVE). Famously described by Lynch as "a dream of dark and troubling things," his now classic surrealist-horror film about the interconnectedness of sexuality, identity, violence and loss was born from 22 pages that read more like free form poetry than a screenplay. With a small grant and donations from friends and family, Lynch shot the ultra low budget film intermittently over the course of six years. It was rejected by the Cannes and New York Film Festivals, and after its Los Angeles premiere Variety called it "a sickening bad-taste exercise" with "little substance." Thankfully, the film made its way to independent cinemas and became popular among a diversity of freaks, film fans and fellow directors, from Stanley Kubrick (who screened it for the cast of THE SHINING before production) to Mel Brooks (who hired Lynch to direct THE ELEPHANT MAN), In the decades since its release, Lynch's bold debut feature has become a staple not only of American cinema but also of world culture, influencing and inspiring countless filmmakers, visual artists and musicians. There are many different interpretations of this story of mangled, tormented reality. But all agree that ERASERHEAD must be seen on the big screen to be truly experienced. Join us in celebrating the 30th anniversary of this brilliant and provocative work of American independent cinema. Newly restored 35mm print!
