behind-the-scenes at Pittsburgh's premier DVD store

I recently finished watching the documentary Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (which was pretty interesting btw), so I was already thinking about Andy W. when Greg from the Warhol called to ask
me if Dreaming Ant would be interested in sponsoring (translation: promoting) a couple film screenings coming up. Anything to help my friend Greg (who is always doing cool stuff)...so check 'em out. And if you miss Hell's Ground on the big screen, Dreaming Ant has a copy in Bloomfield for rent.

Hell’s Ground (Zibahkhana) (Pakistan/UK, 2007)
Directed by Omar Ali Khan
Zombies return to the Warhol in new horror film from Pakistan
Friday, December 5, 2008 @ 8:00 pm ($7.50)

Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (
France, 2006)
Directed by Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno
The fine arts of film and soccer meet in this Pittsburgh Premiere
Friday, December 19, 2008 @ 7:00 pm & 9:00 pm ($10.00)

Acclaimed visual artists Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno transform spectacular footage of French soccer star Zinédine Zidane. Glorious in its simplicity, Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait traces the movements of international soccer superstar Zinedine Zidane during a complete match between Real Madrid and Villareal. Using 17 synchronized cameras, the film tracks the world-class athlete from the first kick until he leaves the field, resulting in a mesmerizing real-time portrait of a man and the full range of his actions, emotional intensity, and unwavering concentration during the game. The scenario is set to a sound track that combines music by the Scottish band Mogwai, the cheers of 80,000 fans, commentary by Spanish television announcers, and Zidane’s own internal thoughts as voiced by the legend himself. The result is a rigorous experiment with cinematic form and an arresting study of a sports icon.
