FILMLINC'S DAILY PICK:
The first day of Views from the Avant-Garde, especially George Kuchar, 8:30pm, Walter Reade Theater
Kuchar, who died last month, was memorialized by The New York Times as “a filmmaker whose campy yet ardent low-budget movies inspired underground directors like John Waters and David Lynch in the 1960s, and helped kindle the do-it-yourself moviemaking aesthetic now ubiquitous on YouTube.” We're proud to present two of the late director's final films in a single program: Lingo of the Lost (pictured above) and Empire of Evil.
