It was able to lock in showtimes three to four weeks ahead of release and get tickets on sale a few weeks before so local marketing could go forward \u2014 a commitment by exhibitors \u201cthat opens up real possibilities for indie film,\u201d said Corcoran.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPeter Hujar\u2019s Day from Janus Films, written and directed by\u00a0Ira Sachs, opens at Film Forum in NY and at the Laemmle Royal and AMC Burbank Town Center 8 in L.A. Stars Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall in a cinematic rendering of a conversation recorded in 1974 between photographer Hujar and writer Linda Rosenkrantz.

Set entirely in Rosenkrantz\u2019s Manhattan apartment, the film recreates the long-ago afternoon and the wonderfully discursive exchange between these two singular individuals as the photographer vividly describes interactions with leading cultural figures of the day, including Allen Ginsberg and Susan Sontag, as well the challenges of living on limited financial resources in 1970s New York.
