The Blackout - 35MM | Ken Kelsch Memorial

Screened in tribute to cinematographer Ken Kelsch (1947-2023).

Abel Ferrara’s “Blackout” stars Matthew Modine as Matty, a self-loathing addict and Hollywood actor. Essentially a feature length short story, the film watches as Matty attempts to both crawl his way out of addiction and atone for an event which happened during a memory blackout. Abel Ferrara’s ”Blackout,” a film featuring sex, drugs and Claudia Schiffer, caused a stampede when it was shown at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival.

Preceded by Talking with the Vampires (20MIN, 2018)

Q&A with Abel Ferrara following 11/04 screening. Guests are invited to gather at the cinema at 6PM to share and hear stories in remembrance of Ken Kelsch.
