This weekend my super talented friend Maximilla Lukacs is presenting some of her stunning visual films at the ACE hotel in Palm Springs. If I didn't have to move into my new house all weekend - this is totally where I would love to be! They are showing my favorite all time movie DAISIES- and Saturday Allison Anders is presenting her famous "Mi Vida Loca" movie. Funny that I will be moving out of the building that she shot most of the apartment scenes in that film. (Crazy to think that I have lived in that Echo Park old school building for almost 10 years!)
Anyway here are the details for those of you lucky enough to escape L.A for luxurious Palm Springs-
NIGHT MOVES Movie Weekends at Ace Hotel & Swim Club presents GIRLS ON FILM Friday 20 Nov 9.30pm Curated by Maximilla Lukacs DAISIES (1966) A satirical, wild and irreverent story of teenage rebellion, Vera Chytilova's "Daisies" is on of the Czech New Wave's standout moments. The women's anarchic antics are mirrored by the film's wildly free-associative montages, psychedelic color and effects and an overriding impression of gleeful anarchy. Few so-called art movies are this much fun. With short films and videos by Maximillia Lukacs and Sarah Sophie Flicker, Jess Holzworth, Nicole McDonald, Melissa Auf De Maur and Ashley Conner. Saturday 21 Nov 8pm Curated by Allison Anders MI VIDA LOCA (1993) Mi Vida Loca is Allison Ander's brilliant study of girl gangs in Los Angeles' Echo Park. Anders' zig-zagging story line allows her to follow side roads that result in beautiful digressions of the sort you wouldn't find in a more conventional film. Working from her own script, Anders has something like perfect pitch for the secret codes between these sisters. Director Allison Anders and select cast in attendance. With "Viva Morrisey" -- a short documentary by Jessica Hundley and Jonathan Miertschin. Also a special acoustic performance from Tiffany Anders. SPECIAL 25% off Standard Room rate. All movies and curated events included! Call to book rooms direct at 760.325.9900 and mention code DRAWPIC09. Or book online.
When a girl goes bad its just one of her degrees of good.
