SAN FRANCISCO CALENDAR PREVIEW NIGHT
with screening of ABSURDISTAN
SCREENING/EVENT INFORMATOIN
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, February 10, 2009, 7:00PM
LOCATION: Lumiere Theatre, 1572 California Street (near Polk), San Francisco
NOTE: The screening is part of “Calendar Preview Night,” providing a unique look at films on the new San Francisco Spring 2009 calendar. The event starts at 7:00pm with approx half hour pre-show of trailers and comments/discussion hosted by film critic Michael Fox, on the group of films on the new SF calendar. Following the comments and the trailers will be a sneak preview screening of ABSURDISTAN.
Welcome to Absurdistan, a small village in the high desert mountains, just on the outskirts of reality, where magical visions and bizarre events fuse together, but the sexes are divided. The village is facing a water shortage, but the men are too lazy to fix a rickety pipeline and the women are getting fed up with their good-for-nothing husbands. Led by young Aya (Kristyna Malerova), the women make a simple vow: “No water, no sex.” The men’s only hope is Temelko (Maximilian Mauff), whose long-promised wedding with Aya is put on hold until he finds a solution to the water problem. From the wild imagination of Veit Helmer, the award-winning director of Tuvalu, comes this perfectly pitched lyrical comedy that is romantic, surreal and boundlessly poetic.
