A Movie You Haven't Seen III

8 PM | FSU STUDENT LIFE CINEMA

For the past couple years, Geoffrey Gilmore has been a fixture at Seven Days of Opening Nights, offering insightful and honest commentary, analysis on the state of independent film and, using his unrivaled insider clout, showing sold-out audiences of Tallahassee film buffs movies that the rest of the world won't see for months.

And so, for the third year running, Geoffrey Gilmore will show us a movie we haven't seen — probably a really good movie, certainly one worth talking about.

So far, Gilmore has failed to disappoint, offering the Oscar-nominated drama The Visitor two years ago and then the hip, hit romantic-comedy 500 Days of Summer last year. In both cases, Seven Days audiences saw these films well in advance of their release dates. How does he do it? Well, as a film insider with clout, Gilmore has few rivals.

According to the New York Times, "In terms of people who can navigate both art and commerce...he is the gold standard."

After serving as director of the acclaimed, star-making Sundance Film Festival for 20 years, Gilmore changed jobs last year to become Creative Director of Tribeca Enterprises, the company started by Robert DeNiro in 2003. Gilmore, possibly the world's most connected and trusted authority on indie film, will attempt to find distribution channels for many languishing independent films, but he'll still take some time to talk to us, show us a movie, answer some questions and work with students at the FSU Film School.
