A little Berlusconi at STF

  • by Raphaela Neihausen, October 15, 2009

image Another sold out house greeted Erik Gandini’s VIDEOCRACY.  Fresh off the heels of the Toronto International Film Festival and the Hamptons Film Festival, Erik made a brief stop in NY to present the film.  The Q&A included insights into Erik’s approach to both the subject matter and filmmaking process.  In plugging last Tuesday’s screening, Time Out NY wrote “you must must must see this documentary” - they were right! To read more about the film, you can visit Robyn Hillman-Harrigan’s piece in Flavorpill.
