Rare Richard Hell film to show Thursday night

I'm curious as to why I need to find this out from a UK website, but...Via 3:AM Magazine:

Films by Richard Hell, Richard Foreman, Frank Moore, David Wojnarowicz, Jaime Davidovich, Lenora Champagne and Stuart Sherman will be shown at NYU Cantor Film Center (36 8th Street) at 7pm (free entance) as part of "Moving Images: Preserving Downtown Time-Based Works" Exhibition, Screenings, Panels at NYU. The highlight will be the first screening of Hell’s Meet Theresa Stern. Here are his comments, followed by a press release:

“It’s wordy and overwrought, but the words do include, ‘Did you know there’s a nerve running directly between the heart and the brain? Scientists call it the Hershey Highway,’ and ‘You wouldn’t really bite my dick off, would you?’ Plus it looks really great.”

“In 1990 Richard Hell made a twenty minute 16 mm film called Meet Theresa Stern. It was a teaser excerpt meant to help get financing for a planned feature length film to be called The Theresa Stern Story. The short film starred Kate Valk (of the Wooster Group), Will Patton (of numerous film credits, as well as originator of a number of Sam Shepard stage roles), and Hell, and was enabled by an all-star crew, including: Declan Quinn, cinematographer, who’s since shot Leaving Las Vegas and Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ among a lot of other movies; Melody London, editor of Stranger than Paradise, Down by Law, and Mystery Train; Tom Verlaine of the band Television, who supervised and composed the music; Kelly Reichardt, the film’s art director, who recently got a lot of acclaim for directing her movie Old Joy; and terrific clothing designer Amanda Uprichard, who oversaw the costumes/wardrobe.

The twenty minute excerpt never got beyond the work print stage, and Richard eventually dropped plans to make the full length feature. Now NYU Fales Library Downtown Collection has supervised the creation of a print of the film, the first true print (Richard has occasionally shown a video projection of the beat up work print), and will screen it on Thursday, April 3rd in a program with other short films and videos from the Fales. This will be the first ever screening of an edit of this movie actually projected from film.”
