Time is the Sun & Everything Is Embarrassing (the La Di Da Film Festival)

The La Di Da Film Festival in New York, this year at the Anthology Film Archieves, has a great line up. Its impressive premiere's includes Raya Martin's How to Disappear Completely and Joe Swanberg's 24 Exposures along with some older films like Frederick Wiseman's The Store and Josh and Benny Safdie's John's Gone. But the highlight is its program of shorts that includes a few works by some internet film figures: Kurt Walker with his Everything Is Embarrassing and Isiah Medina's Semi Auto Colours and his newest work Time is the Sun. They sound really good and the reviews have been enthusiastic. We're really looking forward to seeing these eventually coming to Toronto!
