The Last Days of Disco - Aftermath

Aftermath

Stillman did not direct another film until Damsels in Distress in 2012.

According to Chloë Sevigny in a 2009 audio commentary track for the film, her performance in The Last Days of Disco - particularly the upbeat dance sequence finale in the subway - got the attention of director Kimberly Peirce, who cast Sevigny in Boys Don't Cry. Sevigny received an Oscar nomination for her performance in that film, but said that of all the films she's made, The Last Days of Disco is the one "people come up to me about" the most.

Sevigny also stated that she became good friends on the set with co-star Tara Subkoff, to whom she continued to remain close after shooting. The two worked together on a fashion line called Imitation of Christ in 2003, along with Scarlett Johansson.

The film was accessioned by the film library at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, where it is sometimes screened to the public. It was last shown at the museum's Pop Rally event in August 2009, with director Stillman and star Chris Eigeman present for a question-and-answer session following the screening. Subkoff was also present during the Q & A. An after-party in celebration of the screening was advertised and held that evening as well.
