IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK

“You have two fathers committing crimes to bail out a son who has committed no crimes—which is America in a nutshell.” — Barry Jenkins, December 5, Los Angeles*

Jenkins’ IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK—a lyrical cinematic elegy to familial love and shattered lives shot in amber and scored with apprehension—finally arrives in cinemas this week.*

At the recent Film Independent Presents screening in Hollywood, Jenkins and KiKi Layne—who plays Tish in the film—were joined by Out magazine’s Tre’vell Anderson for a post-screening Q & A, and over the weekend, Layne will return to the Arclight for pre- and post-screening conversations with her fellow actors.

BOOTS RILEY’S SORRY TO BOTHER YOU

“Because I’m working with someone like Lakeith, who has a very sharp tool at his disposal and can carve the things I ask him to carve, we could root the performance in realism and believability and subtlety. It’s really important that all these weird things that happen in our movie happen not for the sake of being weird or eye candy, that they happen because I’m trying to solve a problem in trying to relate an idea or an emotion and that’s where those weird things happen.” — Boots Riley, on making SORRY TO BOTHER YOU*

Writer-director Boots Riley and actors Lakeith Stanfield and Terry Crews will participate in a Q & A after a weekend screening of SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, an uproarious farce that blends the social satire of Justin Simien’s film Dear White People (2014) with Michel Gondry’s surrealist fantasies.

 

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, opens Thursday evening, July 5.
