“On Saturday night at 8, at UnionDocs, in Brooklyn, Matthew Porterfield’s remarkable first feature, “Hamilton,” will have a rare screening, after which I’ll moderate a discussion with the director, who will also present something from his work-in-progress, “Metal Gods.” I saw “Hamilton” when it premiered at Anthology Film Archives, in 2006; I thought then, and think now, that it’s one of the finest American independent films ever made. It’s not available on DVD, and, in any case, its exquisitely thought-out compositions are best savored on the big screen.” — Richard Brody
HAMILTON was selected and screened in the 2006 Maryland Film Festival.
