Wong Kar Wai in SoHo!

Filed under: Drama », Romance », Fandom », Exhibition »

We've mentioned indieWIRE's filmmaker talks sponsored by Apple before. There's been Julie Delpy, shots of Redacted, Wes Anderson and crew, Richard Kelly and some Tales, Rewinding with Michel Gondry, and some David Gordon Green. They really know how to get people you'd want to see up close, and hear what they have to say about their films. And they sinisterly make me wish I was in New York City every few months.

Now indieWIRE continues the trend with their latest conquest; Wong Kar Wai, who will finally make his English-language debut on mainstream screens this April 4, and will be popping by the Apple Store in SoHo on April 1. The director will show scenes from My Blueberry Nights, and Dennis Lim will moderate a discussion about the film as well.

If you make it out to any of these (and are, of course, lucky enough to be in the vicinity), this would probably be the one to see. How many times does the guy do talks stateside -- one you can see for free?! The talk will be held from 7:00-8:00 p.m., at 103 Prince Street, NYC, and it's first-come, first-serve free seating. If any of you Cinematical readers make it out to the talk, let us know how it went!

Richard Kelly is the Latest Director to Hit Apple SoHo

Besides giving Justin Long some work and making him the geek poster boy, Apple has been pretty good at making lots of people wish they lived in SoHo (as well as a few other choice areas across the US). Along with indieWIRE, they've been bringing filmmakers and stars into their stores for discussion and exclusive clips -- this includes the indie names behind Hannah Takes the Stairs, producers Jason Kliot and Joana Vicente who showed part of Redacted to New York fans, and even Wes Anderson, Jason Schwartzman, and Natalie Portman popped by for Hotel Chevalier, the short prequel to The Darjeeling Limited.

Now things are getting a little more sci-fi, and indieWIRE reports that the next filmmaker on the list is none other than Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly, who will be on hand to show clips from Southland Tales and talk about the film. The event will take place on Friday, October 19, and run for just one hour -- 6:30-7:30 p.m. As per usual, the cost is free, and it is first come, first serve at Apple's SoHo store on Prince Street in New York City. It sounds like this will be a speedy run-through that won't allow for many, or any, questions, but if there's a filmmaker and film around that might benefit from some expository commentary, it's Kelly and Tales!
