[DC] DJ Alex Gold at AFI this Saturday / FREE PASSES INSIDE!

I'm spinning at the closing night party for the European Film Festival this Saturday night at the AFI Silver Theatre.

I have 2 extra free passes for the closing screening and the after party, at which I am spinning for 3 hours or so. The first 2 people to email me at alex [at] thefridgedc [dot] com can have them (but only if you PROMISE to use them)!!!

This is the film that is showing:
ELDORADO





Belgium's Official Oscar Submission for Best Foreign Language Film

Winner, FIPRESCI Prize, Prix Regards Jeunes and Europa Cinemas Label Award, 2008 Cannes Film Festival

Director Bouli Lanners wrote and stars in this quirky road trip adventure that nimbly maneuvers between absurdist humor and darkly realistic pathos. Yvan is a world-weary vintage car dealer who returns home one night to find his house has been broken into, and the inept intruder is still there, hiding under his bed. The young would-be criminal, Elie, somehow strikes a chord with Yvan, who agrees not only to refrain from calling the police, but to drive the young man to his parents' house--in his '79 Chevy. Thus begins their strange journey through a series of increasingly ridiculous mishaps, until they reach their destination, where things take a melancholy turn.

DIR/SCR Bouli Lanners; PROD Jaques-Henri Bronckart. Belgium/France, 2008, color, 80 min. In French with English subtitles. NOT RATED
