"Glissando," an indie feature
by Park Slope filmmaker Chip Hourihan, has been traveling the
festival circuit for a couple of years, but it will be screened
a bit closer to home on Dec. 18 at Manhattan’s Pioneer Theater.
The film’s soundtrack features a number of Brooklyn-based artists,
Hourihan told GO Brooklyn, including Tom Clark and the High Action
Boys, John Kimbrough and guitarist Lenny Kaye.
Hourihan produced and directed "Glissando," a story
centering on 15-year-old Jim (Chris Van Strander) and his father
(Paul Frediani) and the young woman, Alida (Petra Wright), who
comes between them. (Wright and Frediani are pictured above in
a scene from "Glissando.")
Based on Robert Boswell’s short story (included in 2000’s "Still
Wild: Short Fiction of the American West, 1950 to Present"
edited by Larry McMurtry), the movie, shot on color MiniDV and
black-and-white Super 16-mm film, is set in a desolate Arizona
desert town in the ’70s.
A Q&A with Hourihan will follow the 7 pm screening. The Pioneer
Theater is located at 155 E. Third St. at Avenue A. Tickets are
$9. For more information, visit www.twoboots.com/pioneer
