For this year’s celebration of Art House Theater Day, we’ve got a real double feature treat from one of our local Bay Area auteurs, Rob Nilsson! We’ll be showcasing two of his acclaimed films on classic 35mm – 1979’s Northern Lights (co-directed by John Hanson), for which they won Cannes’ Camera d’Or, and 1988’s Heat and Sunlight, winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. No less than independent film legend John Cassavetes proclaimed: “Nilsson’s films are beautiful, exciting, imaginative, unfamiliar—and outside of that, very good.”
