Utterly unique actor, film-maker, musician and artist Crispin Glover will be making a rare appearance with his two 35mm feature films, It is fine! Everything is fine. and What is it? Both films are challenging and entertaining experiences, mixing humor, horror, and taboo with incredible artistry. These films are not available anywhere, and can ONLY be viewed at personal appearances like this.
Before each film, Mr. Glover will perform Crispin Hellion Glover's Big Slide Show, a one-hour dramatic narration of eight different profusely illustrated books. Images from the books are projected onscreen during his performance, and each night is different. These books will be available for purchase in the Guild lobby. A Question & Answer session and book signing follows each film.
@ The Guild Cinema, 3405 Central Ave NE. Doors open at 5:45pm each night and the program begins at 7pm, Q&A at 9:15pm, book signing at 10pm. All seats are $20 each night, advance tix available at Stranger Factory (109 Carlisle NE). Due to mature content, attendees must be age 18 or over. NOTE: Parking will need to be done on one of the adjacent side streets for the Sat. Dec. 6 show because Central Ave. will be blocked off from Washington to Girard for the City of Albuquerque's Twinkletits Parade. Definitely plan ahead and factor that in!
