WE LIVE IN PUBLIC plays our second screening tomorrow night in Montreal at the RIDM, which is apparently a French acronym for Big Documentary Festival.  We got a whopping 5 STARS off of The Gazette film reviewer, Mark Tremblay who raves that we are, “one of the most compelling and technically accomplished films you’re likely to see this year.”

Last chance!  SATURDAY NOVEMBER 21st, report to Cinema ONF at 9:15pm!  Click here for INFO.

Hello Canada!  WLIP is hitting the amazing Vancouver International Film Fest!  We play at the Empire Granville 7 tonight, Thursday Oct 1st at 6:30pm and Ondi will be there in the flesh for a post-screening question and answer session.

Check out what they are saying about us:

Vancouver International Film Festival
Masterfully incorporating a decade’s worth of footage, Timoner assembles a constantly riveting and often harrowing portrait of the one-time “Warhol of the Web”… Timoner’s investigation into Harris’ past exploits couldn’t be more timely.” http://www.viff.org/tixSYS/2009/xslguide/eventnote.php?EventNumber=2610

WE LIVE IN PUBLIC also plays at the Empire Granville 7 on Oct. 9th at 1:20pm and Oct. 14th at 9:30pm.

We are showing the film tonight (or tomorrow morning, depending on how you look at it) at 2:30AM, certainly setting an official record for Weirdest Screening Time Ever at Interloper Films. Because the details via our Burning Man liason are in festival-speak, I’m just going to quote this one…. “we’ll be showing it right on the playa from an art car outside the 3:00 plaza”  Evidently there is a bar on hand and “the art car is either Scotty Soltronic’s famous Solar Saucer (Discovery Channel, etc, famous eco-power device) or a giant pig with a jail as its belly.”   Check at the Social Media Booth in 3:00 Plaza for the most up-to-date info, but let me boil it down for ya.

BURNING MAN
Film: WE LIVE IN PUBLIC
Time: 2:30 in the morning on Friday
Place: By the Solar Saucer or the Giant Jail Pig in the 3:00 plaza

Can somebody take some pictures of this for me? Thanks.

New Zealanders packed all three screenings of WE LIVE IN PUBLIC in Auckland and Wellington.  One Kiwi blogger who writes for The Dominion Post (Wellington’s major daily paper) couldn’t get the film out of his head, writing “I squirmed in my seat” and that he was “blown away by the film.”  

While in the neighborhood, Ondi rocked the radio airwaves.

bFM: http://www.95bfm.com/default,casts.sm
Kiwi FM: http://kiwifm.co.nz/ProgramGuide/Wammo/tabid/75/Default.aspx
And Radio Wammo declared WE LIVE IN PUBLIC an Editor’s Pick and gave us a little blog feature: http://www.wammo.co.nz/2009/07/23/nzff-we-live-in-public/

Ondi also stopped into the studios of TV3 New Zealand for an on-air lovefest!

“The doco about one of the first dot com kids took a decade to shoot and was cut from a mind-boggling 5,000 hours of footage. To top it all off We Live In Public took home the grand jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival, making director Ondi Timoner the only person to win the coveted award twice.”

Hey Kiwis, your cigarette packaging may be disgusting...

But your country is beautiful!

Thanks for making the New Zealand Film Festival run of WE LIVE IN PUBLIC such a success. We can’t wait to return!
