Anyone who reads The Art Life regularly knows that we have a keen interest in movies by and about artists. It’s perhaps for that reason we’ve been approached by Palace Cinemas with an offer of 50 double passes for Art Life readers to preview screenings of Me You And Everyone We Know, the debut feature by US video/performance artist Miranda July, on October 21, 22 and 23 at the Palace Academy Twin, Sydney.
Caution: artist at work! Miranda July as ChristineThe film has really piqued our interest. July has her own website with downloadable videos of her work and links to a number of quirky web projects that read like classic 60s Fluxus art projects with a little bit of Ghost World mixed in. July is touring the world on a promo tour for her much lauded film [prizes at Cannes, Sundance, San Francisco Film Festival] and has her own beguiling gosh-darn-it-felt-ball-earrings-blog . The film itself looks good and has scored a 80 per cent approval rating across the board on Rotten Tomatoes where A.O. Scott, the hard to please film critic for The New York Times claimed cryptically, “while Miranda July’s first feature film might be classified as romantic comedy, it introduces the playful qualities of installation art to the conventions of narrative cinema.” We have no idea what that means but it sounds amazing!
So what do you have to do to get a double pass? Send an email with your postal address to The Art Life [theartlife@hotmail.com] and complete this sentence:
We’ll publish the best entries next week. The film is being screened at the Palace Academy Twin, 3a Oxford Street, Paddington, 2021. The giveaway is only available to our Sydney readers and all emails with your name and postal address must be recieved by 9.pm Friday, October 15, 2005.
Thanks to Palace Cinemas.
