Los Angeles premiere!
The Green Fog, created by filmmaker/cultural iconoclast Guy Maddin with co-directors Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson, with composer Jacob Garchik and Kronos Quartet, pays homage to Alfred Hitchcocks spellbinding Vertigo. Inventive and invigorating, this San Francisco Fantasia is lauded by the New York Times as a marvel of film scholarship. Its also a lot of fun. Maddin, working with his Forbidden Room collaborators, set himself the challenge to remake Vertigo without using footage from the Hitchcock classic, creating a parallel-universe version, in his words. Using Bay Area footage from a variety of sourcesstudio classics, 50s noir, experimental films, and 70s prime-time TVand employing Maddins mastery of assemblage, the result exerts the inexorable pull of Hitchcocks tale of erotic obsession while paying tribute to the city of San Francisco.
