Bamcinématek Announces the Main Slate for the Eighth Annual Bamcinemafest, a Festival of American Independents with 24 New York BAMcinématek announces the main slate for the eighth annual BAMcinemaFest, a festival of American independents with 24 New York premieres and one North American premiere, Jun 15—26 Opening night—New York premiere of Ira Sachs’ Little Men Closing night—New York premiere of Tim Sutton’s Dark Night Centerpiece—New York premiere of Todd Solondz’s Wiener-Dog Spotlight screenings—New York premieres of Ti West’s In a Valley of Violence and Jeff Baena’s Joshy The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinemaFest, BAMcinématek, and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/May 10, 2016—BAMcinématek announces the complete main slate for the eighth annual BAMcinemaFest (Jun 15—26), hailed as “New York’s best independent film showcase” (The New Yorker). A 12-day festival presenting premieres of emerging voices in American independent cinema, this year’s lineup features 23 New York premieres and two North American premieres. "This year's annual snapshot of the best of American independent cinema is excitingly eclectic, ranging from a formally adventurous reimagining of post-World War I France to a vampy tribute to 60s erotica shot (and projected!) on 35mm film," says Gabriele Caroti, director of BAMcinématek. "We're thrilled to welcome the great Ira Sachs and Todd Solondz both who join us for the first time with this year's Opening Night and Centerpiece films Little Men and Wiener-Dog. And we're proud and honored to host our first three-time festival alumnus, Tim Sutton (Pavilion, BAMcinemaFest 2012; Memphis, BAMcinemaFest 2014), whose audaciously atmospheric Dark Night screens as this year's Closing Night film." “The Wall Street Journal is proud once again to join BAMcinemaFest in celebrating the work of dynamic new filmmakers,” says Gerard Baker, editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal. “It is a privilege and a joy to play a role in introducing BAM audiences to these inspiring storytellers from around the world.” Opening the festival on Wednesday, June 15 is the New York premiere of Ira Sachs’ Little Men, an achingly empathetic drama that confronts the complexities of gentrification by one of American independent cinema’s most perceptive filmmakers. After the death of his father, struggling actor Brian (Oscar nominee Greg Kinnear) inherits a Brooklyn house and moves in with his family. His artistically inclined teenage son Jake finds an inseparable friend in his neighbor Tony, but the strength of their bond is tested when Brian decides to raise the rent on Tony’s mother (Paulina Garcia, who won the Silver Bear for her performance in 2013’s Gloria), a Chilean immigrant who runs a dress shop on the ground floor. Suffused with hard-won compassion and honesty, this follow-up to 2014’s acclaimed Love Is Strange captures the joy and pain of coming of age in a rapidly changing neighborhood. Little Men is a Magnolia Pictures release scheduled for theatrical release on August 5. This year’s Closing Night selection is the New York premiere of Brooklyn filmmaker Tim Sutton’s third feature, Dark Night. Called “among the country’s most intriguing cinematic anthropologists” (Variety), Sutton’s latest is loosely inspired by the multiplex shooting that devastated Aurora, Colorado. The film observes six strangers as their lives intersect at the site of imminent brutality. Boasting evocative cinematography by Hélène Louvart (Pina, The Wonders) and a haunting score by Maica Armata, Dark Night is an impressionistic journey into the dread lurking beneath the placid surface of suburban life. As a special Centerpiece selection, BAMcinemaFest presents the New York premiere of Todd Solondz’s macabre comedy Wiener-Dog. Two decades into a career of mining the varieties of human dysfunction, celebrated independent filmmaker Solondz (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness) casts new light on the grotesque suburban landscape through the eyes of man’s best friend. With Danny DeVito, Greta Gerwig, Julie Delpy, and Ellen Burstyn and shot by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Edward Lachman (Carol). Wiener-Dog is an Amazon Studios/IFC Films release. This year’s Spotlight selections are Ti West’s western In a Valley of Violence and Jeff Baena’s comedy Joshy. In a Valley of Violence stars Ethan Hawke as a mysterious drifter who has a run-in with a smarmy gunslinger (James Ransone) who happens to be the son of the local marshal (John Travolta). The run-in soon escalates into a bloody and berserk battle of revenge. In a Valley of Violence is a Focus World release. Featuring a score by Devendra Banhart and an ensemble cast of hilarious comedic talents— including Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley), Adam Pally (Happy Endings), Jenny Slate (Obvious Child), and acclaimed filmmaker Alex Ross Perry (Queen of Earth, BAMcinemaFest 2015 Centerpiece)—Jeff Baena’s sophomore feature Joshy is a wickedly amusing portrayal of male bonding and emotional incompetence. After his engagement suddenly ends, Joshy and a few his friends decide to take advantage of what was supposed to be his bachelor party in Ojai, California. In their attempt to help Joshy deal with the recent turn of events, the guys turn the getaway into a raucous weekend filled with drugs, booze, debauchery, and hot tubs. Joshy is a Lionsgate release. The complete BAMcinemaFest 2016 slate includes: . OPENING NIGHT: Little Men (Ira Sachs) NY Premiere Narrative . CLOSING NIGHT: Dark Night (Tim Sutton) NY Premiere Narrative . CENTERPIECE: Wiener-Dog (Todd Solondz) NY Premiere Narrative . SPOTLIGHT: In a Valley of Violence (Ti West) NY Premiere Narrative . SPOTLIGHT: Joshy (Jeff Baena) NY Premiere Narrative . The Alchemist Cookbook (Joel Potrykus) NY Premiere Narrative Young outcast Sean has isolated himself in a trailer in the Michigan backwoods, setting out on alchemical pursuits with his cat Kaspar as his sole companion. Filled with disdain for authority, he’s escaped a society that has no place for him, but when he turns to black magic to crack nature’s secret, he rouses a malevolent force that threatens to dismantle both his otherworldly goals and his very being. This micro- budget genre-bender echoes the absurdist, visceral tones in Potrykus’s previous films, Buzzard and Ape, which were showcased in a BAMcinématek retrospective in 2015. An Oscilloscope Laboratories release. Another Evil (Carson Mell) NY Premiere Narrative There are spirits in the secluded vacation home of Dan (Steve Zissis) and Mary (Jennifer Irwin). Fed up with this supernatural nuisance, Dan hires Os, a professional exorcist (Mark Proksch) whose fragile emotional state after a recent divorce leads him to cling to his client as a potential new best friend. After a boozy week of bonding, it becomes clear Os answers to a boss much greater than his client, and will go to great lengths to please him. An inventive, risk-taking blend of horror and comedy, Silicon Valley writer Carson Mell’s feature debut explores the unholy mess that emerges when a paranormal infestation is accompanied by a woefully human one. Author: The JT LeRoy Story (Jeff Feuerzeig) NY Premiere Documentary Armed with a tortured backstory and some scintillating subject matter, gender-non-conforming teen author JT LeRoy burst onto the literary scene in the late 90s, finding friends and champions among the likes of Winona Ryder, Billy Corgan, and Gus Van Sant. Two novels, one film adaptation, and several media appearances later, this much-publicized wunderkind was exposed as the fabrication of Laura Albert, a Brooklyn mother with a fake British accent and a troubled past of her own. Drawing on tell-all interviews and a wealth of archival material, including an unforgettable phone recording with Courtney Love, Author authoritatively unravels one of the most elaborate hoaxes in contemporary American fiction. An Amazon Studios/Magnolia Pictures release. The Childhood of a Leader (Brady Corbet) New York Premiere Narrative Independent film mainstay Brady Corbet (Mysterious Skin, Martha Marcy May Marlene) delivers one of the most audacious directorial debuts of the year (winning two major awards at the Venice Film Festival) with this allegory of totalitarianism in the wake of World War I. Loosely inspired by the writings of Jean- Paul Sartre and Margaret MacMillan, The Childhood of a Leader is a nightmarish coming-of-age tale charting the early stirrings of despotism in a French choirboy (chillingly assured newcomer Tom Sweet), whose father is a high-ranking diplomat assisting President Woodrow Wilson in the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Corbet’s ambitious reflection on the dark forces of history features a special appearance by Robert Pattinson and a thunderous orchestral score by avant-garde icon Scott Walker. A Sundance Selects release. collective:unconscious (Lily Baldwin, Frances Bodomo, Daniel Patrick Carbone, Josephine Decker, Lauren Wolkstein) NY Premiere Narrative Five of New York’s most innovative independent directors adapt each other’s dreams for the big screen in this ambitious omnibus film. Formally audacious and wildly unpredictable, this cinematic descent into the surreal ranges from the ominous to the absurd: a gym class is conducted from inside a volcano; the Grim Reaper hosts a chilling game show; one man’s risky quest changes a brainwashing tower signal; former prison inmates reflect on their first moments of freedom; and a mother-to-be realizes a beast is growing in her womb. Producer Dan Schoenbrun’s (The School is Watching, BAMcinemaFest 2015) project captures the hypnotic visions that result when gifted filmmakers are given unlimited creativity. Fraud (Dean Fleischer-Camp) NY Premiere Documentary While digging through the cyber-heaps of footage readily available on YouTube, filmmaker Dean Fleischer-Camp (Marcel the Shell) came upon more than 100 hours of home movie video documenting the birthday parties, afternoons spent at the playground, and mall trips of an unknown American family. Commenting on the fluid natures of digital storytelling and voyeurism, Fleischer-Camp masterfully re- edited the footage to create Fraud, a provocative narrative that paints a wild new portrait of the family and their day-to-day lives.

    Travail de maturité – ANGLAIS Sujet no 13 Family in Films “All happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Anna Karenina, Leon Tolstoy.

  • Over the Past Ten Years, Good Machine, a New York-Based
    MoMA | press | Releases | 2001 | Good Marchine: Tenth Anniversary Page 1 of 4 For Immediate Release February 2001 THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART TO CELEBRATE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF GOOD MACHINE, NEW YORK-BASED PRODUCTION COMPANY Good Machine: Tenth Anniversary February 13-23, 2001 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1 Over the past ten years, Good Machine, a New York-based production company helmed by Ted Hope, David Linde and James Schamus, has become one of the major forces in independent film culture worldwide. Dedicated to the work of emerging, innovative filmmakers, Good Machine has produced or co-produced films by, among others, Ang Lee, Todd Solondz, Nicole Holofcener, Ed Burns, Cheryl Dunye and Hal Hartley. Beginning with Tui Shou (Pushing Hands) (1992), the first collaboration between Good Machine and director Ang Lee, The Museum of Modern Art presents eight feature films and five shorts from February 13 through 23, 2001 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "Good Machine proves that audiences do want to be entertained intelligently and engaged substantively," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the series. "Their achievements are reflected in this Tenth Anniversary series and are, in large part, due to Good Machine's collaborations with filmmakers and its respect for the creative process." In addition to producing and co-producing films, Good Machine has gone on to establish an international sales company involved in distributing diverse and unusual works such as Joan Chen's Xiu Xiu: The Sent-Down Girl (1998) and Lars Von Trier's Dancer in the Dark (2000).

    Welcome to the 21th Annual Moviate Underground Film Festival at ARTSFEST May 24th-26th, 2019 Schedule of Events (All events are free, but we suggest a $3-$5 donation to help the festival.) Welcome to the 21st Annual Moviate Underground Film Festival at Harrisburg's Artsfest! The past 20 festivals have been a testament to our DIY aesthetic, and we are excited to keep on with the annual tradition of showing many amazing films over the Memorial Day weekend. As in past years, we are excited to project many of the films as Super-8 or 16mm film prints. This is our seventh year showing our daytime programming in the wonderful Civic Club building along the Susquehanna River. We continue our tradition of our evening screenings at the great Midtown Cinema on Reily Street. To kick off the festival on Friday night, we welcome artist Mike Diana, who will be presenting a Frank Hennenlotter documentary "Boiled Angels: The Trial of Mike Diana" followed by a Q&A with Mike himself (8:00PM). On Saturday night, at 7:30PM, we are excited to welcome filmmaker Todd Solondz, who will present the classic film,"Welcome To The Dollhouse". Todd's films (including "Happiness", "Storytelling", "Palindromes" among others) have always been a hit with indie and underground crowds, but his 1995 feature has become an endearing classic. Todd will introduce "Welcome To the Dollhouse" and there will be a post-screening Q&A as well. Following Todd's appearance will be a great documetary on VON LMO, called "Future Language", with director Lori Felker, from Chicago, in-person.
