Jeremy Saulnier Hosts Q&A for Green Room’s 10th Anniversary Screening

Filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier will appear at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver for a question-and-answer session following the screening of his acclaimed film Green Room. This special event celebrates the movie’s 10th anniversary and is scheduled for November 30, 2024, at 18:30.

“Green Room” features a touring punk band that finds themselves in a life-threatening situation when they perform for a crowd of neo-Nazis.

The film’s gripping premise unfolds as the band, initially excited about their gig, quickly realizes the danger they are in. Their opening song, “Nazi Punks Fuck Off,” sets the stage for a harrowing encounter with the audience, leading to intense and violent confrontations.

Saulnier has gained recognition for his work in the film industry, with his most recent project, Rebel Ridge, gaining popularity on Netflix. However, Green Room remains a standout feature, especially among punk enthusiasts. The film showcases a stellar cast, including Patrick Stewart in a surprising role as a neo-Nazi leader, and Macon Blair, a frequent collaborator with Saulnier who recently directed the Toxic Avenger reboot.

The film is also notable for its performance by Anton Yelchin, who tragically passed away at a young age, and Imogen Poots, who delivers a strong performance. Dog lovers will appreciate the film’s portrayal of pit bulls, which have received praise for their impressive screen presence.

Originally premiered at the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) ten years ago, Green Room has since become a cult classic. Fans of the film are encouraged to attend the screening and participate in the Q&A session with Saulnier, who is expected to provide insights into the film’s production and thematic elements.

Tickets for the event are available online, and attendees are urged to secure their seats early to avoid disappointment. The screening promises to be an engaging experience for both fans of the film and newcomers alike.
