Nearly 20 years after the film came out, join us in celebrating the release of the Yo La Tengo original soundtrack to Kelly Reichardt’s understated classic “Old Joy,” with a screening of the film introduced by Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley.

Born out of a years-long friendship between the band and Reichardt, the music is low-key yet arresting, stripped down to the essentials, warm and unpretentious, similar to the director’s work. The film follows the trajectory of two friends in the context of post-9/11 America, surrounded by gorgeous wilderness, making for a minimalist yet powerful tale of friendship and alienation. The soundtrack will be available for the first time on vinyl at @filmforumnyc concessions.
