On Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th September, at The Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, The Parker Posey Film Festival is dedicated to celebrating one of the most unique American actresses working today.
For the first double bill they bring back, by massive popular demand, the incredible & criminally unseen Party Girl from a beautiful 35mm print. A tale of love, life and librarian-ism in 90s New York city, the film is Fun with a capital F. A soundtrack pulled from the dancefloors of the day, costumes from Parker's extensive wardrobe and a supporting cast of superb actors, there is good reason why Girls creator Lena Dunham has the film's poster on her wall.
Screening alongside Party Girl, they're incredibly excited to bring the UK premiere of two episodes from season 3 of the Emmy award winning comedy, Louie - the Parker starring episodes Daddy’s Girlfriend Part 1&2. The series is brainchild of comedian Louis C.K and his innovative production style and total creative control have given rise to one of Parker's finest performances in recent years.
There will be a Party Girl inspired party in the ICA following the screening and a Hal Hartley double bill of Henry Fool and Fay Grimm the following evening.
