October at @nwfilmforum.bsky.social: a lot of good stuff! A few highlights: History of Concrete has been such a hit, they've added additional screenings on Oct 12 and 13, @seattlecritics.bsky.social presents Green Room w/J Saulnier interview on Oct 14, and the new 4K of Begotten premieres Oct 23.
Red-hued poster framed by lights in the window. Chronovisor has also been such a hit they've added an additional screening on Oct 14 at 7:30pm.Handbills resized, printed, and scored by me, but designed by NWFF. The Jeremy Saulnier interview will be by Zoom.Gotta love Kino Lorber's poster for the new Begotten restoration with its Joy Division/Closer/Martyn Atkins and Peter Saville vibe. That movie is a trip!
