Filmmaker Alan Zweig in STL
Documentarian Alan Zweig will be in town tomorrow night, answering questions about his film "I, Curmudgeon," which is described by the Webster U Film Series this way: "Harvey Pekar, Fran Lebowitz, Andy Rooney, and a cadre of notable grouches populate the latest film from Canadian director Alan Zweig. Getting to the bottom of their skewed perspectives proves challenging in this amusing and though-provoking film by the equally downbeat Zweig. Again combining the personal with the universal, Zweig digs deep into the nature of malcontents in a film that Eye Weekly called 'A testament to the power of negative thinking.'"
(Does this sound like anyone you know? I've got an idea, or two, of people who should be at this one... if not in this one.)
Another Zweig film, "Vinyl" will screen at the Winifred Moore Auditorium tonight, with "I, Curmudgeon," on Saturday and Sunday. Click here for more info.
