Vidiots Cinema Selects: THE MEND
For one weekend a month, the newly renovated Vidiots Annex will be transforming into the VIDIOTS Cinema Selects micro-cinema, presenting special limited runs of new independent films, handpicked and personally recommended by Vidiots' staffers.
With 30 years of trusted movie recommendations under our belts, VIDIOTS Cinema Selects is upping the ante, seeking out and presenting unique, daring and entertaining films that demand to be seen on a big screen, with an audience. VIDIOTS Cinema Selects will bring the theatrical experience inside the video store with multiple showtimes daily and (reasonably priced) soda, candy and popcorn!
Our inaugural selection, THE MEND, a "stressed out comedy," is the debut film from writer and director John Magary and stars Josh Lucas (Undertow), Stephen Plunkett, Lucy Owen (Higher Ground) and Mickey Sumner (Frances Ha). It premiered at the 2014 SXSW Film Festival and won "Best American Film" at the Possible Worlds Film Festival in Sydney, Australia.
SHOWTIMES:
Fri. 10/9: 8:00pm
Sat. 10/10: 5:00pm & 8:00pm
Sun. 10/11: 2:30pm, 5:00pm & 8:00pm
"Bizarre and beautiful and organic."
- David Gordon Green, Director (All the Pretty Girls, George Washington)
"An unusual pairing of style and story that makes a seemingly familiar tale unpredictable and enthralling. It's like if Polanski directed a script by Noah Baumbach."
- Clay Keller, Vidiots clerk / VCS Programmer
"The idiosyncratic music, by Judd Greenstein and Michi Wiancko, strays far from the kind of cheesy score that tells you what to think and feel."
- Angela Matano, Vidiots clerk / VCS Programmer
"One of the very best American independent films you'll see this year!"
- Bilge Elbiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
All proceeds go towards the Vidiots Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the cinematic and media arts in the form of preserving and protecting our collection of over 50,000 rare and classic VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray titles.
Vidiots celebrates cinema and the vitality of independent art through education, archival preservation and accessibility. The Vidiots Foundation connects people to experience evolving media, taking video store culture into the 21st century.
