It’s film festival season so we have a bit of film festival news this week. Director Whit Stillman will be presenting a screening of Broadway Danny Rose in Miami later this month. And Fading Gigolo will play in Boulder in February. More details for both below.
‘Broadway Danny Rose‘ will screen as part of the Miami Jewish Film Festival which runs 23 January to 3rd February 2014. The film will be hosted by Whit Stillman, the fantastic director of ‘Metropolitan‘ and ‘Last Days Of Disco‘. Almost as much as Allen, his career is tied to New York and sly depictions of the emotional well-to-do. If you’re a fan of Allen’s and you’ve not discovered Whitman’s work – then you’re in for a treat.

The film will play with the short ‘Woody Before Allen‘. The 14 minute film is the charming story of two former Konigsberg – Woody Allen (that was his real name) and a town in Russia. The two a brought together when the town holds a contest to build a Woody Allen statue – with Allen himself as the judge.
