On Tuesday night, Flux presented a very special Cinema Tuesdays Hollywood premiere of Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York. Actor Tom Noonan, in from New York, and producer Spike Jonze were on hand to introduce the film to the rapturous crowd. We all got a little preview of the mischievous Mr. Jonze’ ringtone which he played into a backstage live mic. Thanks for the little blip there Spike.

It was a packed and fully-charged night. MORE PHOTOS.

The film is a conspicuous narrative of life imitating art imitating life with New York city as it’s backdrop. It is complicated and painfully sad at times with sprinklings of Kaufman’s myriad thoughts which leave the viewer thinking, no matter what you make of it. The film opens tomorrow, October 24.

Following the screening, we were very proud to present the micro-art show Small Miracles, the work of artist Adele Lack. The show has received quite a bit of attention on blogs all over the web. The show remains up through this Sunday night October 26th in the upstairs gallery space of The Montalbán, Nike Sportswear’s unique concept theater.
