Eight Days a Week - NY premiere Peter loves his next door neighbour Erica (Golden Globe winner Kerri Russel) and, on the advice of his uncle, decides to camp out on her front lawn for the entire summer, or until she agrees to go out with him. His father is none too happy about the idea and refuses to let his son back in the house, even to get a change of clothes. Peter's friend, Matt, thinks Peter should give up on women (like he has) and just have sex with fruit. The film will soon be released by Warner Brothers. - "The best comedy ever since 'Clerks' " - "All I can say is that it is post pub perfection!Enjoy" - (quotes from imdb.com)

The Anthology Film Archives evolved from roots and visions that go back to the early Sixties, when Jonas Mekas, the director of the Film-Makers' Cinematheque, a showcase for avantgarde films, dreamed of establishing a permanent home where the growing number of new independent/avantgarde films could be shown on a regular basis. The Anthology Film Archives building, located at 32 Second Avenue at Second Street in NYC, houses two motion picture theaters, a reference library, film preservation department, offices, and a gallery.
