Teaser: Alistair Banks Griffin’s Two Gates of Sleep

For those who feel the void with no Malick this year, I strongly recommend checking out the teaser for a major new talent in the U.S indie sphere who we’ve often mentioned on this site. After Cannes’ Director’s Fortnight, Deauville, Tokyo and the London Film Festival-BFI, Alistair Banks Griffin’s Two Gates of Sleep is finally making it’s long-awaited North American premiere next month at the AFI Film Fest in the spanking brand new “Young Americans” section (which promotes new U.S indie filmmaking talents).

For those who feel the void with no Malick this year, I strongly recommend checking out the teaser for a major new talent in the U.S indie sphere who we’ve often mentioned on this site several times since lst May. After Cannes’ Director’s Fortnight, Deauville, Tokyo and the London Film Festival-BFI, Alistair Banks Griffin’s Two Gates of Sleep is finally making it’s long-awaited North American premiere next month at the AFI Film Fest in the spanking brand new “Young Americans” section (which promotes new U.S indie filmmaking talents). Featuring Brady Corbet (Lars von Trier’s Melancholia and Sean Durkin’s Martha Marcy May Marlene) and David Call (Lena Dunham’s Tiny Furniture and Gregory Kohn’s Northeast), I hope Los Angeles patrons such as AFI Fest guest artistic director David Lynch will have the chance to admire TGOS from up close and build some much deserved word of mouth so that some smart distributor (message to Oscilloscope Laboratories: this one is down your alley) can seal a deal and put this into art-house theaters sometime soon.
