If you've got an hour (!) to kill, please check out this interesting chat with Susan Seidelman moderated by fellow director Bette Gordon (Variety). Seidelman's book Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls is out now, and this event at Powerhouse in Brooklyn (June 19) was like a live version of it.

She touches on Smithereens, Desperately Seeking Susan, She-Devil and her other films, her first efforts at filmmaking, her ups and downs and much more. Some juicy stuff.

It was hell filming more than an hour with no tripod in a bookstore with a rumbling train outside, but ... I tried!
