"Gigantic:
A Tale of Two Johns," AJ Schnack’s new documentary about
Williamsburg’s own rockers They
Might Be Giants, will be screened at Cinema Warsaw on Sunday,
Aug. 31 at 8:30 pm.
Schnack’s camera followed They Might Be Giants – John Linnell
and John Flansburgh (pictured) and their band – for seven months.
Employing animation, live performance footage from a gig at Greenpoint’s
Polish National Home (where this screening will be) and interspersing
readings of TMBG’s bleak lyrics by actor Michael McKean ("This
is Spinal Tap") and comedians Janeane Garafalo and Andy
Richter, Schnack has created a lighthearted, novel take on the
documentary genre which is as interesting to watch for a TMBG
fan as for a Giants ignoramus.
Cinema Warsaw is located at 261 Driggs Ave. at Eckford Street.
Tickets are $10. For more information, call (718) 383-5352 or
