Really? 
Looks like a lot of fun, actually.  I'll be looking for a US/NE opening.
Agreed - Definite SFM fodder...

A good time was had by all. Fun Film. Great audience.  Hopefully got some people sitting around us to join the marathon in February.

Yes, yes, great fun indeed.  No one was safe from its satirical swipes (apparently that was a positive outcome of its being a Finnish film - it could poke fun at everyone with impunity).  Wonderfully arcane mechanical CG contraptions.  Very amusing Chaplin scenes.
It would provide much amusement at an SFM (note "Moon" theme suggestion elsewhere in this site).  it would also work well in an "End of the World As  We Know It" themed event...  (Sorry, was that too subtle?)
Thanks for the suggestion, links, trailers, etc.  I don't get out much, these days, but this was worth the trip North.

What was the guise of this showing?

A test screening?

A Preview to spur interest?

Turnout and reaction of the crowd?

The film premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in April and has slowly moving across the globe. In the U.S.A. it is available through Tugg.com which shows the film at theaters for one evening which generate enough interest on their website. There is an effort to get it to the Kendall on October 16 if enough tickets are reserved in advance.
