Film: The State Of Things (1982)
15 Jan 2012, 7:30 p.m.
Highly autobiographical work concerning a shoestring movie producer and his ragtag crew. Stranded in the outer reaches of Portugal, the director does not even have any film in his camera. There's nothing left to do but scare up a potential backer - preferably one of those rich, movie-mad Americans.
