2013 Films: Special Event Screenings

Crispin Hellion Glover It Is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE What Is It? + Crispin Hellion Glover’s The Big Slide Show (parts 1 & 2)

Film Synopsis

Presented live on stage by Crispin Hellion Glover!

Two shows only!

Revelation is pleased to welcome a legend of contemporary cinema Crispin Glover. Crispin has appeared in some of the most important independent and Hollywood movies of the last three decades. For the last seven years, alongside his acting career, he has toured the world presenting in person screenings of his feature films It Is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE and What Is It? Truly visionary works, these films can only be screened with the director in attendance making the screenings utterly unique experiences.

It Is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE (2007) is a fantastical, psycho-sexual autobiography of actor-writer Steven Stewart who lived with cerebral palsy and died shortly after the film was completed.  "What Diane Arbus was to photography, Crispin Hellion Glover is swiftly achieving as a filmmaker. Training his sardonic eyes on the strange and afflicted he achieves a mad dark poetry on celluloid.” - Dennis Dermody, Paper magazine

What Is It? (2005) has been described as "The adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe, and how to get home." and has seen the director compared to the likes of Bunuel, Fellini and Herzog, but such descriptions belie it utterly unique vision."Possibly the most bizarre, uncompromising movie ever made by a major Hollywood name." - Gilbert Garcia, Phoenix New Times

In addition these feature film screenings will be accompanied by The Big Slide Show (part 2 & 1 respectively) in which Mr Glover performs a one hour dramatic narration of eight different profusely illustrated books. The images from the books are projected behind Mr Glover during his performance.

Following each evening Crispin will answer audience questions and sign copies of his lavish books.

Special prices apply.
