Ballerina Ballroom Cinema of Dreams

July 9, 2008

Come to Tilda's fest. Bring cake.


Tilda Swinton is founding a fest in her hometown of Nairn, Scotland, reports The Guardian.
...no red carpets, no ranks of paparazzi and no designer evening dresses. Entry to the films will cost you £3 or a tray of home-baked cakes; and the audience will sit on beanbags.

Joel Coen will program for two nights.  His list is being kept under wraps, but what will draw the entire program together is Swinton's love of a "certain fantastic, expressionist, anti-realist aesthetic. Roman Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers will be shown and Federico Fellini's 8 1/2 will close the event."

The fest's name?  The Ballerina Ballroom Cinema of Dreams.  It'll run August 23-25.  To find it just look for the mountain of crumb cake on the horizon.
