Artist’s Choice Film Series – Living in Oblivion

Houston Cinema Arts Society presents the next installment in the FREE Artist’s Choice Film Series. Artist’s Choice Film Series is where we invite Houston visual, performing, and literary artists to select and introduce a feature film of their choice about their own art form. A moderated discussion with the artist and audience will follow each screening.

Our first screening of 2016 will be Living in Oblivion with Guest Artist Carroll Blue on February 15th at 8 pm.

Following up his debut, Johnny Suede, director Tom DiCillo presented this filmmaking comedy that allegedly draws much from DiCillo’s experiences on the set of the 1991 Brad Pitt vehicle.

Steve Buscemi stars as Nick Reve, the long-suffering director of a no-budget independent film. If he’s not dealing with his heartbroken director of photography Wolf (Dermot Mulroney), Reve is trying to keep his leading lady Nicole (DiCillo mainstay Catherine Keener) happy or ignore the pseudo-auteur suggestions of Pitt-inspired name-actor Chad Palomino (James LeGros).

All the while, the audience can’t ever be sure if the scene they’re watching is a dream or reality.

As always, this is a FREE event held on the patio of Brasil.
