While we jumped the gun by announcing that the PUFF Movie House would be taking over the Piazza at Schmidts earlier this year, we just got word that the partnership is now official. Beginning April 2, the PUFF boys will start screening movies at the NoLibs complex with some musical accompaniment from Philly music stalwart Chuck Treece. After the outdoor screening, they'll play the play the film in a more theatrical setting. Word is they will hold court until October 31 and it's all free.
The first film on the April 2 docket is a Mind of the Demon: The Larry Linkogle Story, about the rise and fall of the freestyle motocross legend, which premiered at this year's Slamdance Film Fest. An even bigger get is Tom DiCillo's Johnny Depp-narrated Doors doc When You're Strange, premiering on April 9. DiCillo will also reportedly be in attendance.
Also on the schedule are Eve's Necklace, a feature-length movie with no actors, only mannequins (a director's dream?) on April 16 and My Big Break, a documentary by Tony Zierra that chronicles the rise (and subsequent fall) of his roommates: Wes Bentley (American Beauty), Brad Rowe (Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss, looking like Brad Pitt) and Chad Lingberg (October Sky, The Fast and the Furious). Big Break technically got its Philly-area premiere at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute, but the film has since been precut to add word on Bentley's heroin addiction.
PUFF, which is associated with the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival, seeks to bring a film fest vibe to the city year-round. In January and February, they held a series of screenings at its Media Bureau (725 N. Front St.) homebase consisting of movies that played the festival circuit but simply didn't have the backing for a full-scale theatrical release.
Check citypaper.net/repfilm for the schedule every week. We'll post more when we have more details.
