Just came back from a premiere of my new film CONTINUITY at the New Horizons Film Festival in Wroclaw, Poland. Formerly Breslau this was where my grandparents got married in 1909. This was my third year at the festival. Last I showed my doc GERMAN SONS. Reaction to Continuity was a great success d'estime. Greeted as a "mind massage" by Kino Zeit and a "mindf***" by a Brit fan in the
Q&A, the second screening ended with an intense series of questions. The first screening everyone got the jokes and the idea--the film deconstructs itself as continuity is finally obliterated in time, narrative and all else. Probably will end up as one of my best films creatively. Actually inspired by an extra looking at his watch in The Greatest Story Ever Told, 1965, and helped along by Robert Mitchum changing his crutches in Rio Bravo. The 100,000 plus Polish film lovers in Wroclaw are a kick to be around as they watched over 400 films and over 100 premieres in this progressive uber festival.
