SFFilm will present a special preview screening A24’s “Club Kid” in 35mm at San Francisco’s Castro Theatre on Nov. 2 at 7:00 p.m. with writer, director and star Jordan Firstman making an appearance for a post-screening
conversation.
“’Club Kid’ is an exhilarating introduction to Jordan Firstman as a filmmaker, with a world that feels completely specific and wonderfully alive,” SFFilm director of programming Jessie Fairbanks said. “The anarchic humor, incredible ensemble, and unexpected tenderness make this a distinctive film, elevated by needle drops that are thrillingly precise to the characters, culture, and emotional landscape of the story. Bay Area audiences will be treated to a 35mm print, a rare and special way to experience a night at the movies.”
The film follows “a hard-partying New York City club promoter sees his whirlwind lifestyle upended by the arrival of the 10-year-old son he never knew he had.”
A24 opens “Club Kid” in limited release starting on Nov. 6.
Anne Lai, SFFILM’s Executive Director said, “One of the most exciting things we do at SFFILM is to introduce bold new filmmakers to eager and welcoming audiences. There is not a more fitting place than the iconic Castro Theatre to welcome Jordan Firstman with his feature directorial debut. For decades, gathering to see movies at The Castro has been at the heart of San Francisco’s queer culture and history. We can’t wait to share ‘Club Kid’ at this cinema sanctuary for what’s sure to become one for the ages.”
