The Dryden will screen Greendale (Bernard Shakey, U.S. 2003, 87 min., 35mm).

Who would have thought that one of the best American independent films of the decade would be shot in Super 8, performed by nonprofessional actors and directed by a Canadian rock musician? Handmade on a shoestring budget in a small town, Neil Young's fourth feature film looks like (and actually is) a home movie but displays an awesome cinematic talent and feels like an epic of universal appeal. Crazy Horse's haunting music and a deliberate revival of the 1970s anti-establishment protest show that creativity needs no money to produce a truly subversive, compelling work of art.
