Speakeasy Cinema

Speakeasy Cinema is a screening series on the third monday of every month at the collective: unconscious. Every month, Matt Kohn presents a guest filmmaker who brings a film they feel will inspire discussion. But no one knows what film it is until the light dim. This blog is a place to for the audience to comment after the screening takes place.

Speakeasy Blog

Here's a space where we can share thoughts about the screenings and discussions.

For the April screening, our guest was Director Peter Mattei, and the film he brought was "Songs from The Second Floor."

SFTSF has a unique pacing and artistic design, a potentially transcedent narrative. Our conversation lasted nearly an hour afterward. Here are some thoughts from our guests.

SFTSF is a rare gem.

This scene pictured above shows a bit of its haunting enchanting mood.

A product of Denmark, Sweeden & Norway, the film moves through almost 'still frames' so bizzare & artistically designed -- that the only camera move in the entire film makes you feel you're waking up from a cinematic trance with a smile.

Thanks Matt for providing Speakeasy Cinema - and Peter for bringing this timeless & poetic portrait of life, loss & the longging for love and connection.

Mesmerizing.
