A few weeks back we told you all about Guy Maddin‘s “Brand Upon The Brain!” – the Winnipeg surrealist director’s latest film that will play in local art-house theaters alongside orchestral accompaniment. We reported that Isabella Rossellini (the star of Maddin’s “Saddest Music In the World“) would be one of the special guest narrators of the film (and named a few potential others) and Maddin has now unveiled the the dates that his special orators will appear at. Guests include TV On The Radio singer Tunde Adebimpe, Lou Reed and partner Laurie Anderson, actor Crispin Glover, drag-star Justin Bond, poet John Ashbery, Spike Lee’s sister Joie Lee and few other notable actors and New York figures. Actress Joan Chen will narrate in Los Angeles, but some dates are still TBD.
This travelling show will hit New York, L.A., Chicago and San Francisco.
