Hello America.
With the winds of Change blowing through the country, we finally have the wind at our backs and, at long long last, will be bringing you the US release of "Scott Walker - 30 Century Man."
Plexifilm will be releasing the film starting on Wednesday December 17th at the IFC Center in NYC. Plans are still in the works for an official opening party – might happen on the weekend with me bringing The Scott Walker Lounge DJ set to a bar near you…watch this space for more info.
Additionally, we have just booked the Landmark Cinemas in San Francisco and Berkeley, CA starting January 23rd, 2009.
Other cities are being considered, but to make it work, we need your help. Below is a list of cinemas/cities we may attempt to book.
If you live in any of these places (including the above mentioned NYC and SF) and want to be involved on a local level to help get the word out, send us an email.
Additionally, if you or someone you know is connected to a local radio station, newspaper, magazine, blog, record store, cinema club/group/society, film festival, or anything that would facilitate communication about the Great Scott to as many people as possible, be in touch:
[email protected].
If you manage a club/bar that would host a Scott Walker Lounge (DJ’d by me or a local Scott nut), be in touch. Maybe your band has a set of Scott covers up its sleeve…whatever. We’re looking for as many unique ways to promote this film around the country as possible.
Even if you would simply show up – send an email (and tell us how many friends you would bring with you.) Any sense of a growing audience helps a cinema feel more confident about booking a small film about a mysterious cult artist!
If you don’t see your city or town on this list and feel like a local art house, museum, school, etc. would be into screening the film, if you live among a hidden Cult of Walker, be in touch.
The DVD will probably drop around Spring 09, but we want the film to reach as many of the faithful as possible on a great big screen.
So – here’s the list of possible cities – thanks in advance for your support! SK.
Los Angeles, Nuart
Seattle, Varsity
Portland, Cinema 21
Chicago, Music Box
Austin, Alamo
Boston, Kendall or Coolidge
Philadelphia, Ritz
Washington DC, E Street or AFI
San Diego, Ken
Atlanta, Midtown
St. Louis, Tivoli
Detroit, DIA or Maple
Denver, Starz
Tucson, Loft
Santa Fe, The Screen
Taos, Cinematheque
Cleveland, Cinematheque
Hartford, Real Art Ways
Wilmington, Theatre N at Nemours
Lake Worth, FL, Playhouse
Coral Gables, Bill Cosford
Miami, Cinematheque

Premiere party plans are just now taking shape and as always, if anyone wants to pitch in to help us promote the Bay Area, please be in touch. (Still trying to lock down the best venue for our opening night party so if anyone has an in at a Scott-friendly bar, etc - let me know.) It would help us out even if you just forward this info on to a friend or two in the Bay Area.

:eek: I wish i could go!
 
Just a reminder, the film is premiering next week in the SF Bay Area. From Landmarktheatres.com:

This first-ever documentary film about Scott Walker's career and music traces his evolution from jobbing bass player on L.A.'s Sunset Strip to his meteoric rise to fame during London's Swinging '60s as lead singer of The Walker Brothers and as a brooding, crooning solo artist, through to his current status as one of the most astonishing and important sound-makers of the last 30 years. Colleagues and collaborators from the '60s to the present weigh in on the evolution of Scott's song writing and often unorthodox working methods and an impressive roster of fans (including David Bowie, Sting, Brian Eno, Radiohead, Jarvis Cocker) line up to speak about the enormous impact he has had on their lives and music. Four years in the making, director Stephen Kijak's film is a visually stunning and in-depth look at a man who turned his back on fame to follow a very singular and uncompromising artistic path. :cool:

"Hello Walkerphiles,


A big thanks to all the LA fans who came out to support the film this weekend at the NuArt - we had our biggest opening numbers yet - quite amazing. More US dates should follow...we'll be sure to keep you updated.


And when I jumped in my car on Saturday morning I tuned into KCRW and heard the DJ give "Montague Terrace" a spin. Before Indie 103.1 went off the air, you could occasionally hear Steve Jones play "The Sun Aint Gonna Shine Anymore" but now our on-air allies have seriously diminished.


IF you can be bothered, do us a favor and either call or email a request to hear some more Scott to the good people of KCRW. You can tell 'em you saw the film and can't get enough Scott and absolutely must hear it again on the radio...NOW. The film plays for a mere four more days here in LA...trying to keep the awareness up! Thanks.

(Reviews and Articles/Interviews pages updated on the website - lots more good ink from LA.) "
 
"Hello Tilters, Drifters...

Just a reminder to fans in Denver that SW30 starts a week long engagement at the most excellent Starz Filmcenter tomorrow, Friday March 6th. Click HERE for more info and tickets.

And it appears that the film is screening at a MusicDoc Festival in Moscow along side some of the best rock docs of the last few years - read all about it in the Moscow News (in English).

Press archive recently updated with all the reviews/blogs/interviews from the LA release and yes, posters still available to purchase. (Request a signed poster and I'll autograph it for you - that should jack up its ebay value by a few bucks, eh?)

(And for any Angelino who may have missed it (today is your last chance to see it at the NuArt) a one-off screening somewhere on the east side is in the works...stand by...)

thanks,

SK"
 
"Hey y'all. Just wanted to let our friends in Nashville know that we have just booked a limited run at the wonderful Belcourt Theatre. "Scott Walker - 30 Century Man" will play for three nights, April 3-5 (longer if there's a good turnout.)

Any ideas/tips/offers to help on getting the word out in the great city of Nashville, please pass 'em on. Not sure if I'll be able to make it there for q&a's, but I'm sure thrilled to be brining the film to the Music City...

SK

and as a reminder...dates coming up in the following cities:

20-Mar (one week) Grand Rapids, MI Urban Institute of Contemporary Art
25-Mar (one night only) Huntington, NY Cinema Arts Centre
4/2 and 4/4 Cleveland Cleveland Cinematheque"
 
"One night only...


"Scott Walker - 30 Century Man" returns to the scene of its US Premiere (at the SXSW Film Fest in 2007) for a screening at the Alamo Downtown for a Music Monday screening on Monday, March 23rd at 10:15 pm.


(A week-run may follow there starting on the 27th...keeep an eye on hyour local listings.) "
 
"hello friends,

Wanted you all to be the first to get a look at the track listing for the soon-to-be-released album that I produced with my friends at Lakeshore Records.

Titled "Music Inspired by the Film Scott Walker - 30 Century Man", it's a collection of 12 covers of Scott Walker originals, done mostly by some brilliantly talented women, (with a few male voices thrown in as well.) The results are stunning.

We're just putting the final touches on it. We should have a release date in the next few weeks. In the meantime...here's what will be on it:

"Duchess" Peter Broderick
"Big Louise" Sally Norvell
"World's Strongest Man" Damon & Naomi
"Manhattan" Saint Etienne
"The Electrician" Laurie Anderson
"The Seventh Seal" Nicole Atkins
"Montague Terrace (in Blue)" Dot Allison
"The Bridge" Bee & Flower
"Rhymes of Goodbye" Stephanie Dosen
"It's Raining Today" Ulrich Schnauss
"A Lover Loves" Jarboe
"Such a Small Love" Little Annie


SK"
