Indie film distributor Neon has confirmed an unusual strategy for the release of Tilda Swinton starring film Memoria. The film is set to debut in American cinemas from 26th December and according to Neon will permanently and exclusively be available there on the big screen.
The ambitious plan is to have the film only play on one screen each week, endlessly touring from city to city across America.
Speaking of the plans star Swinton said

“Memoria is the perfect film for this moment, Big cinema or bust… Throughout the universe in perpetuity”

Director Apichatpong Weerasethakul added

“For Memoria the cinema experience is crucial or maybe the only way. Let’s embrace the darkness and dream, one at a time”.

Despite the unique plans for a permanent USA release the film has been acquired in other international territories by streaming service MUBI and it will also premiere at the BFI London Film festival in London.
