For immediate release / July 9, 2007 FILMMAKER GUS VAN SANT RETURNS TO WEXNER CENTER TO INTRODUCE HIS RARELY SEEN FIRST FILM MALA NOCHE “A rhapsodic slacker noir!”—Nathan Lee, Village Voice on Mala Noche Gus Van Sant, the award-winning director of such films as Drugstore Cowboy, Good Will Hunting, Elephant, Last Days, and the upcoming Paranoid Park, returns to the Wexner Center Wednesday, August 1 at 7 pm to introduce a brand new 35mm print of Mala Noche, his little-seen debut feature. Tickets are $7 for the general public and $5 for Wexner Center members and students and go on sale July 10. Tickets can be purchased at the Wexner Center ticket office (614 292-3535) or Ticketmaster (614 431-3600) or Ticketmaster.com. Mala Noche Photo courtesy Janus Films Mala Noche, now receiving its first proper theatrical release, is a haunting story of unrequited love and culture clash between a convenience store clerk and the young Mexican illegal immigrant with whom he is infatuated. Shot in black-and-white, originally in 16mm, it is one of the key works from the independent filmmaking movement of the 1980s. The modest yet involving story is based on a novella by poet Walt Curtis. More information, including a trailer, is available at www.wexarts.org; more information on Mala Noche available at www.janusfilms.com/malanoche. Van Sant, no stranger to the Wexner Center, previously visited during a 2003 retrospective of his films, when he introduced a preview screening of Gerry, then his latest, to a capacity crowd of Wexner Center members. The Center also hosted the local premiere of his last film, the critically acclaimed Last Days in 2005.

Gus Van Sant Regis Dialogue Formatted
Gus Van Sant Regis Dialogue with Scott Macaulay, 2003 Scott Macaulay: We're here at the Walker Art Center for Regis dialogue with American filmmaker Gus Van Sant. He'll be discussing the unique artistic vision that runs through his entire body of work. Gus was first recognized for a trilogy of films that dealt with street hustlers, Mala Noche, Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho. He then went on to experiment with forum and a number of other films including To Die For, Psycho and even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Gus is perhaps best known for his films, Goodwill Hunting and Finding Forrester, but all of his work including his latest film, Gerry, has his own unique touch. We'll be discussing Gus' films today during this Regis dialogue. I'm Scott Macaulay, producer and editor of Filmmaker Magazine. I'll be your guide through Gus' work today in this Regis dialogue. Thanks. Gus Van Sant: Thank you. Scott Macaulay: It's a real pleasure to be here with Gus Van Sant on this retrospective ... Which is called on the road again. I guess there are a lot of different illusions in that title, a lot of very obvious ones because a lot of Gus' movies deal with travel and change and people going different places, both locations within America but also in their lives. But another interesting implication of the title is that this retrospective is occurring on the eve of the release here and also nationwide of Gerry, which is really one of Gus' best and most moving films but it's also yet sort of another new direction for Gus as a filmmaker.

Santander Cultural Exibe O Primeiro Filme Do Diretor Gus Van Sant, Mala Noche, Inédito No Brasil
Nota de Imprensa Santander Cultural exibe o primeiro filme do diretor Gus Van Sant, Mala Noche, inédito no Brasil Obra revelou o cineasta de Gênio Indomável e Paranoid Park Sessões Comentadas em 17, 18 e 21 de junho marcam a programação Porto Alegre, junho de 2008 – O Santander Cultural - Unidade Porto Alegre, apresenta pela primeira vez no País Mala Noche (1985), o cultuado filme de estréia do diretor Gus Van Sant, em 20 de junho. Mala Noche é parte da mostra especial Os Independentes Clássicos , que homenageia os cineastas Hal Hartley, David Lynch e Gus Van Sant em junho. Além dessa produção, o talento de Van Sant é representado na mostra com a exibição dos filmes Gênio Indomável ( Good Will Hunting , 1997), Psicose ( Psycho , 1998) e Paranoid Park ( Paranoid Park , 2007). Em Mala Noche , Gus Van Sant conta a história do jovem Walt Curtis (Tim Streeter), que se apaixona por Johnny (Doug Cooeyate), um imigrante mexicano vivendo de forma ilegal em território norte-americano. No entanto, Johnny é heterossexual e não fala uma só palavra em inglês. O filme é uma adaptação do livro homônimo do próprio Walt Curtis. Apesar de polêmico na época de seu lançamento, Mala Noche superou preconceitos e inspirou uma geração inteira. O filme abriu caminho para Gus Van Sant ditar algumas das principais regras do cinema independente norte-americano, que sempre deu mais importância ao roteiro e aos atores do que outros aspectos envolvidos na produção de um filme. Hoje, graças a diretores como Gus Van Sant, o cinema independente é reconhecido pela indústria de Hollywood em premiações e valorizado até mesmo pelos grandes estúdios.

Gus Van Sant (B. 1952, Louisville, Kentucky), Admired Internationally
GUS VAN SANT Gus Van Sant (b. 1952, Louisville, Kentucky), admired internationally as a filmmaker, painter, photographer, and musician, received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence in 1975. Since that time his studio painting practice has moved in and out of the foreground of a multi-disciplinary career, becoming a priority again over recent years. Van Sant’s work in different mediums is united by a single overarching interest in portraying people on the fringes of society. Van Sant’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland, Le Case d’Arte in Milan, Italy, and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon in Eugene, among others. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions since the 1980s, presenting drawings, paintings, photographs, video works, and writing. Among Van Sant’s many internationally acclaimed feature films are Milk (2008); Elephant (2003); Good Will Hunting (1997); My Own Private Idaho (1991); and Drugstore Cowboy (1989). Van Sant lives and works in Los Angeles.

Van Sant, Gus (B
Van Sant, Gus (b. 1952) by David Ehrenstein Gus Van Sant at a Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. screening of Paranoid Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Park in December, 2007. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Photograph by Mai Li. Image appears under the One of the most idiosyncratic talents to have emerged from the independent cinema Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 License. over the past decade and a half, Gus Van Sant is matter-of-fact about his sexual orientation. More significantly, in his work he represents homosexuality matter-of-factly. Back when Hollywood was still tip-toeing around the subject of homosexuality, Van Sant's low-budget feature Mala Noche (1985) burst onto the emerging gay and lesbian film festival scene with disarming frankness. Based on the then unpublished writings of Portland, Oregon poet Walt Curtis, the film told of the unrequited love of a skid row liquor store clerk (Tim Streeter) for a Mexican street hustler (Doug Coyote) and his more sexually available hustler pal (Ray Monge). Shot in 16mm black and white, it evidenced a talent of remarkable assurance, as well as bravery. Van Sant's confidence and courage have stood him in good stead in a career that has encompassed everything from films with high-profile superstars such as Sean Connery to music videos for groups such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Hanson, to a thoroughly bizarre shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic film Psycho (1998), to such intensely personal short works as the ineffable Five Naked Boys with a Gun (1992).
