Drafthouse Films has released a trailer for an interesting-looking new documentary titled Kim’s Video. The film tells the story of an iconic video store in New York City, and it looks like the story takes an unexpected turn of events. This movie tells one of those stranger than fiction kind of stories.
In the film, “Physical media reigns supreme in Kim’s Video, an elegiac tribute to the iconic video store in New York City that inspired a generation of cinephiles before it mysteriously closed its doors and sent its legendary film archive to a small and slightly dubious Sicilian village for “safekeeping.” But what starts as an homage to cinema quickly becomes a rescue mission to ensure the eternal preservation of the beloved video collection.”
The movie was written and directed by Ashley Sabin and David Redmon. It will be released theatrically in NYC and LA on April 5th, then will expand throughout the US and Canada starting April 12th.
