TONY PALEY’S GREATEST FILMS OF ALL TIME at Close-Up Film Centre

• SPRING NIGHT, SUMMER NIGHT d. Joseph L. Anderson, 1967 UK Premiere + Intro by Peter Conheim (05 MAR 20:15).
• “J.L. Anderson’s haunted Appalachian romance occupies a proud place alongside such similarly hand-crafted, off-the-grid American independent films as Carnival of Souls, The Exiles, Night of the Living Dead, and Wanda. Made in coal-mining country in southeastern Ohio with local amateur actors, the film is carefully observed (Anderson and his producer Franklin Miller spent two years scouting locations becoming familiar with the place and the people) and beautifully and lovingly realized.” – Film at Lincoln Center
