Tribeca Film Fest Tickets now on sale on their website, and there is a box office somewhere downtown, check the site for details. We’ll be screening May 2, 3 & 5.

And…to kick it all off, we’re teaming up with The Knitting Factory and having a pre-screening event featuring downtown chanteur David Driver doing his show: David Driver sings the Scott Walker Songbook. He’s backed by the inimitable Loser’s Lounge Band and will be serving up classics from Scott’s swinging 60’s setlist. He’s great - a perfect warm-up for the film.

Party is 6 - 8 pm on Wednedsay, May 2 at The Knitting Factory. $10 at the box-office or the KF website.

First 50 paying customers through the door get a FREE ticket to the film, which screens that night at 9:30 pm.
Scott Walker & 4AD giveaways all evening. See you there…

*UPDATE*

UK release kicked off last night to a packed house - thanks to all who came down to the Curzon Soho for the Q&A. Great press too - check out the updated PRESS ARCHIVE. 

Verve Pictures have announced a string of dates in the UK to follow on from our April 27th Theatrical Premiere, including screenings in:

Bristol, Sheffield, Bradford, Exeter, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Oxford, Brighton and a whole lot more. Click here to see the updated list.

And I will be heading back to London soon to intro some of the shows and do some Q&As at the Curzon Soho on opening weekend. The British press is starting to weigh in on the film, and so far, it’s looking pretty good…

“A definitive portrait of rock’s most fascinating and elusive outsider…incredible insight into the secret man of pop”

…and just got word that 30Century Man will be featured in the IFC News Special: SXSW ‘07 “Behind The Badge” airs all this month on the Independent Film Channel.

“…gone and made me child again…”

From the port of Thessaloniki…to the sunny streets of Copenhagen. NatFilm Festivalen started with a Dim Sum dinner and a concert by the amazing Bonnie “Prince” Billy. (see updated pics.) Screened the film once at the brilliant Cinemateket/Danish Film Institute (which also houses the restaurant/cafe Sult which has the greatest weekend brunch buffet on the Earth. And - now this is for the Scott Walker nerd elite…there is, of course, a poster for the film “Sult” (”Hunger” in English) in the cafe, one of SW’s favorite films, based on one of his favorite books, by Knut Hamsun. So there. ) Anyway, hunger be damned, we gorged ourselves and then feasted on the rarely screened Jodorowsky mindbender “El Topo.”

Next stop was a screening in the city of Aarhus, three hours away by train, in the sweetest cinema on the Earth, Ost for Paradis.

Camera battery died or I would have taken a few snaps of this historic building, a real gem of an arthouse - a real dying breed, run by an amazing man who has seen many generations of moviegoers come and go. He told us that Laurel and Hardy actually performed there on the last night of their European Tour many moons ago - and that Hardy got so drunk after the show he needed to be rolled back to his hotel in a wheelbarrow. As did we - what a tour…and it’s just kicking off…looking forward to HotDocs and the UK release. The UK press is starting to roll in, starting with a four star review in Empire.

9th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, view from the Hotel Minerva. Perfect moviegoing weather that week; cool, damp, gray, screenings were full (half-past-midnight at the Olympion) and dangerously over-crowded (John Cassavetes cinema - see below) and was told that at a breakfast discussion the following day, people were debating whether or not the film was actually an elaborate hoax…does Scott Walker really exist or have I made him up? I’ll take that as a compliment.
