Win free movie passes!
The first 20 PIFVA members to send their names to
contactus@pifva.
org with the subject line "RSVPing
for Brothers of the Head" can win a pair of passes to,
you guessed it, the IFC Films presentation of
Brothers
of the Head, next Monday
July 24th at 7:30pm.
(The first 20 to respond will receive
a confirmation e-mail directing them to the Center
City movie theater where the screening will be held.)
With Brothers of the Head,
Keith
Fulton and Louis Pepe (the acclaimed
directors of Lost in La Mancha) present their
much anticipated debut feature.
Written by Tony Grisoni (Fear and
Loathing in Las
Vegas), Brothers of the Head is
the
feverish, mind-bending odyssey of conjoined twins
Tom and Barry Howe who were plucked from
obscurity by a 1970s music promoter and groomed
into a boy band. Grappling with impossible love,
artistic rivalry, and a dark inner life, the twins
embrace their freakishness and spit it back in the
form of searing Punk Rock. Brothers of the
Head is a
raucous ride through the seamy underground of 70's
rock, and an unsettling glimpse into a relationship
that is as beautiful as it is destructive.
If you don't win free passes, don't despair. The film
opens on Friday, August 4th at the Ritz Theatres.
Free passes courtesy of The Promotions
Group.
