The Woodstock in the City Film Series, sponsored by Indiepix.net
Proudly Presents the
New York premiere of Chris Deaux’s
THE LAST WESTERN

The second film in the Woodstock in the City summer screening series, sponsored by Indiepix.net is set for Wednesday, July 20th at 7:30 PM at the MAKOR SCREENING ROOM, 35 West 67th Street (between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue).

THE LAST WESTERN chronicles the bygone era of the B-Western and the colorful citizens of Pioneertown, California - a dusty outpost perched on the edge of the Mojave Desert in the shadow of Los Angeles. Built in 1946 by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, the town would go on to serve as the backdrop for some of Hollywood's last B-Westerns and television serials including "The Cisco Kid," "Buffalo Bill Jr." and Gene Autry's final film, "The Last of the Pony Riders."

The town's time in the spotlight would be short lived, however, and by the mid-1950's Pioneertown sat forgotten and decaying in the desert sun. A virtual ghost town, Pioneertown became a hangout for motorcycle gangs, dope dealers and desert rats. A few of the hearty drifters stayed on and moved into the decaying old west storefronts, creating a surreal 21st Century version of Hollywood's 1950's version of the Wild West: real cowboys, outlaws and desert drifters surviving in the crumbling film sets of near forgotten B-Western movies. The film is courtesy of Seventh Art Releasing.

A Q & A with filmmaker Chris Deaux will follow along with a reception at 9:00 p.m., hosted by Indiepix.net. Tickets are $15 for general public, and $10 for WFF and Indiepix.net supporters. Other screenings are set for August 1 (CROSSING ARIZONA) & August 17 (TBA). Visit Makor or Woodstock Film Festival for tickets and updated info about the series.
