We are thrilled to announce that on August 8th, Filmmaker and Princeton U Graduate Philip Hartman will join us in-person for a post-screening Q&A on his 1987 film NO PICNIC! 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝘁 princetongardentheatre.org/specials
𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Philip Hartman’s No Picnic is a priceless artifact of New York’s pre-gentrification East Village, with appearances by Steve Buscemi, Richard Hell, Luis Guzmán, and other fixtures of the Downtown music and art scenes. The winds of change were in the air during the film’s production in the summer of 1985 as Hartman raced to capture his neighborhood in all its squalid glory. Hartman’s neo-noir comedy follows down-and-out jukebox operator Macabee Cohn, played with deadpan melancholy by David Brisbin, who wanders the cheap tenements, dive bars, and derelict streets of the Lower East Side in search of a mysterious woman in a striped dress.
About the Speaker: Philip Hartman is a Princeton University Graduate from the class of 1977. During his time in Princeton, he started the Princeton University Film Society and also wrote film reviews for The Daily Princetonian. He is the co-owner and founder of Two Boots Pizza, a filmmaker, and an advocate for the preservation of the East Village, where he has lived for decades. He also founded the Great Jones Café and maintained his love for punk rock, film, and culture while managing a successful and growing business.
