Scott Aigner and Jack Hanley

Two dear friends and Film Festival colleagues attempt to bridge the gaps of their long-distance relationship AND their own film educations through a bi-weekly screening and discussion project of the gap films that have eluded their cinematic discovery.

On this week's call, Scott and Jack explore the beautifully framed, absurdist world of Swedish auteur Roy Andersson and his masterwork from 2000, SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR. 

Join us as we also discuss Andersson's artist influences, the humanist poetry of César Vallejo, and Criterion's upcoming program on Teen Horror- along with a special "visit" from our dear friend and critic Roger Ebert who weighs in on the film via a never before published interview clip.
