I saw it at an art theater in downtown D.C. It's also at the multiplex in Georgetown. Where are you?
Milwaukee, WI :( - my local arthouse - the Times Cinema is playing The Animation Show
(2005) Milwaukee premiere -- exclusive engagement. Don Hertzfeldt's new short, Meaning of Life, debuts as part of this international festival, which also includes Bill Plympton's Oscar®-nominated Guard Dog (a short that's ultimately about misguided ambition); The Man With No Shadow (Canada, 2004); When the Day Breaks (Canada, 1999); Fallen Art (Poland, 2004); and seven other outstanding examples of 2D and 3D (CGI) animation. (87 minutes) Friday through Sunday at 3:30, 7:00 & 9:00 / Monday through Thursday at 7:00 only.
You'll get to see Masculine Feminine in 35 mm. That's pretty cool.
I found that Downfall is playing in Milwaukee at a few low-down-the-ladder theaters - will try to watch it - one way or another;)













Where did you see the film, Alan? It is not out on DVD - I assume prints are extant in some theaters.
Will search on torrent tonight;)
