Be Here Now: Against The Current

On the five year anniversary of the death of his pregnant wife, a thirty something financial writer decides to mark the day by swimming the length of the Hudson River, all 150-miles of it, accompanied by two friends in a boat (Justin Kirk, of Weeds fame, and Elizabeth Reaser). The film premiered at Sundance and has been making the rounds of the festival circuit.

Against The Current is playing TONIGHT (October 22) at 6:15pm at FilmColmbia Festival at the Crandall Theatre in Chatham, followed by a Q&A with director Peter Callahan.

(Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the The FilmColumbia Festival offers topnotch foreign and independent films. Here’s the complete festival schedule.)

If you miss the screening tonight, you can catch it on Saturday, October 24 at the Hunter Center of MASS MoCA at 8pm as part of the Williamstown Film Festival’s 11th season. The Galleries will be open until 7:30 PM. Party with food from Lickety Split and cash bar follows in MASS MoCA lobby.
