BRUFF
This event is a Manship Theatre feature happening during the Baton Rouge Underground Film Fest. There's a full-circle twist. Mangini received a special thanks in the credits on Sex, Lies, and Videotape, the Soderbergh debut shot in Baton Rouge that won the Palme d'Or and helped launch American independent film. Mangini was Soderbergh's landlord in LA at the time, and he wrote and performed the guitar piece that opens the film. Dedicated to the success of American independent film, Mangini gave Soderbergh run of his editorial company for the duration of the film at a price that helped make this iconic indie film possible.
BRUFF is screening a new remaster of Sex, Lies, and Videotape on Aug 27, just two days before Mangini takes the Manship stage. A hometown sound designer is bringing an Oscar-winning collaborator from the city's most famous film back to Baton Rouge, the same week it returns to the screen.
