Sundance Institute at BAM
May 29—June 8
For the third straight year, Sundance Institute has packed up its bags and is moving into BAM for eleven days to present 22 features and 36 short films from the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, lively music concerts, Q&As with the artists, art installations, and special events that bring the creative energy of the Institute's artists and programs to New York audiences.

Anybody going? I got tickets through work for:
"Gonzo - The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson"
The legendary status of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is due as much to his scintillating journalism as to his outrageous antics. Although his persona often overshadowed his work, his steadfast convictions at the forefront of his writing influenced history and a new style of journalism dubbed "gonzo." Director Alex Gibney focuses on the height of Thompson's rebellions from 1965 to 1975. Through interviews with Thompson's peers, clips of never-before-seen home movies and audiotapes, parts from unpublished manuscripts, and narration by Johnny Depp, the audience is offered a remarkable glimpse of the makings and disillusionment of an icon. A Magnolia Pictures Release. NY Premiere!
