ABOUT THE FILMS: “My Last Martini,” 2025, Dir. Rob Christopher, 14 Mins, USA One evening at an elegant cocktail lounge, a frustrated writer is joined by a mysterious woman who drifts over from the next booth, looking for a good listener. FORMAT: DCP ROY’S WORLD: BARRY GIFFORD’S CHICAGO, 2020, Dir. Rob Christopher, 75 Mins, USA Hailed as “William Faulkner by way of B-movie film noir, porn paperbacks and Sun Records rockabilly,” poet, author and screenwriter Barry Gifford has given the world more than forty works, including the Sailor and Lula novels that inspired David Lynch’s WILD AT HEART. Featuring Willem Dafoe, Matt Dillon and Lili Taylor, ROY’S WORLD: BARRY GIFFORD’S CHICAGO brilliantly brings to life Gifford’s autobiographical collection of stories, capturing a vanished 1950s Chicago through a jazzy, impressionistic combination of beguiling archive footage, animation and spoken word.
