NOTFILM<br />
Sunday, May 8 at Noon<br />
Directed by: Ross Lipman<br />
Featuring: Buster Keaton, Samuel Beckett; 128 minutes<br />
Completely fascinating! For<br />
“ moviegoers who care about film,<br />
NOTFILM can be unreservedly<br />
recommended.”<br />
–Kenneth Turan, LA Times<br />
In 1964 writer Samuel Beckett set out on one of the strangest ventures in cinematic history: a collaboration<br />
with silent era genius Buster Keaton to create a short, avant-garde film titled FILM. Beckett<br />
was nearing the peak of his fame, which would culminate in a Nobel Prize five years later. Keaton, in<br />
his waning years, never lived to see Beckett’s canonization. The film they made has been the subject of<br />
praise, consternation, and controversy for decades. NOTFILM is the film essay on the making of Beckett<br />
and Keaton’s film and its philosophical implications. <strong>Film</strong>maker Ross Lipman has incorporated long-lost<br />
outtakes and audio recordings into a portrait of the astonishing collaboration of two of the twentieth<br />
century’s most extraordinary men.<br />

Dr. Robert Laing is the newest resident of a luxurious apartment in a high-tech concrete skyscraper<br />
whose lofty location places him amongst the upper class. Laing quickly settles into high society life and<br />
meets the building’s eccentric tenants: Charlotte, his upstairs neighbor and bohemian single mother;<br />
Wilder, a charismatic documentarian who lives with his pregnant wife Helen; and Mr. Royal, the enigmatic<br />
architect who designed the building. Life seems like paradise to the solitude-seeking Laing. But as<br />
power outages become more frequent and building flaws emerge, particularly on the lower floors, the<br />
regimented social strata begins to crumble and the building becomes a battlefield in a literal class war.<br />
