    SHIRLEY Directed by: Josephine Decker Written by: Sarah Gubbins Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Odessa Young, Michael Stuhlbarg, Logan Lerman Running Time: 107 Minutes CORNERSTONE FILMS CONTACTS: Publicity: Anna Bohlin/ [email protected] Marketing: Joanne Michael/ [email protected] SYNPOSIS Fred and Rose move to a small Vermont college town in pursuit of a job for Fred as an assistant professor of literature. The young couple receives an offer for free room and board from professor Stanley Hyman, as long as Rose agrees to spend time cleaning up the home and looking after his wife, acclaimed horror author Shirley Jackson. At first Fred and Rose detest the rocky household of the eccentric couple, but they eventually establish deep bonds with their counterparts, which will test the limits of their young love. Director Josephine Decker makes an exciting return with a biographical portrait brought alive with energy and imagination, based on a novel by Susan Merrill and screenplay by Sarah Gubbins. Shirley is a fresh take on the period drama, full of contemporary intrigue and dynamic in style. It features a stellar lead cast—Elisabeth Moss, Michael Stuhlbarg, Odessa Young, and Logan Lerman—who all return to the Festival to give another memorable performance. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Shirley Jackson was a wildly unorthodox human and storyteller. Encountering her work was like finding a map towards becoming the kind of artist I would like to be. Daring. Intimate. Structured yet dreamlike. Shirley’s work rides on the skin between imagined and real, seducing with its oddness and humble cracks until you can’t tell if you’re looking up the stairwell or into your own mouth.

  • Jason Schwartzman Elisabeth Moss Jonathan Pryce Krysten Ritter Joséphine De La Baume Listen up Philip a Film by Alex Ross Perry
    Jason Schwartzman Elisabeth Moss Jonathan Pryce Krysten Ritter Joséphine de La Baume Listen Up Philip a film by Alex Ross Perry Following up his critically acclaimed THE COLOR WHEEL, Alex Ross Perry scripts a complex, intimate and highly idiosyncratic comedy filled withNew Yorkers living their lives somewhere between individuality and isolation. Jason Schwartzman leads an impressive cast including Elisabeth Moss, Krysten Ritter and Jonathan Pryce, balancing Perry’s quick-witted dialogue and their characters’ painful, personal truths. With narration by Eric Bogosian, we switch perspectives as seasons and attitudes change, offering a literary look into the lives of these individuals and the triumph of reality over the human spirit. Listen Up Philip was produced by Washington Square Films (the company’s follow-up film to the acclaimed All Is Lost) and Sailor Bear Productions, the team behind the 2013 Sundance hit Ain’t Them Bodies Saints. SYNOPSIS Anger rages in Philip (Jason Schwartzman) as he awaits the publication of his sure-to-succeed second novel. He feels pushed out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley (Elisabeth Moss), and his own indifference to promoting the novel. When Philip’s idol Ike Zimmerman (Jonathan Pryce) offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject – himself. Philip faces mistakes and miseries affecting those around him, including his girlfriend, her sister, his idol, his idol’s daughter, and all the ex-girlfriends and enemies that lie in wait on the open streets of New York.

These days it’s home to tamer events like the centennial of the late great Ukrainian-American actor Volodymyr Palahniuk – you may know him as Oscar- winning actor Jack Palance – or the annual Psyanka Festival celebrating Ukrainian-style Easter egg decorating. But music returns to the UCC for a few weeks this month when the Red Bull Music Festival holds its Center Channel film series there, screening movies that make use of genres from rock and jazz to instrumental and dance, including an opening day tribute to the punk bands that once rattled its gilded art deco rafters. From Friday, Feb. 8 through Wednesday, Feb. 20, some 20 films will screen, many of them with guests from the productions either on screen or behind the scenes. 1/17 2/17 Sound 3/17 4/17 5/17 6/17 7/17 8/17 9/17 10/17 11/17 12/17 13/17 1 of 16 New age composer Iasos will perform with special visuals during the Red Bull Music Festival LA’s Center Channel film series in Los Angeles in February 2019.

  • Thirst Street Press-Notes-Web.Pdf
    A PSYCHOSEXUAL BLACK COMEDY Press Contacts: Kevin McLean | [email protected] Kara MacLean | [email protected] USA/FRANCE / 2017 / 83 minutes / English with French Subtitles / Color / DCP + Blu-ray Alone and depressed after the suicide of her lover, American flight attendant Gina (Lindsay Burdge, A TEACHER) travels to Paris and hooks up with nightclub bartender Jerome (Damien Bonnard, STAYING VERTICAL) on her layover. But as Gina falls deeper into lust and opts to stay in France, this harmless rendezvous quickly turns into unrequited amour fou. When Jerome’s ex Clémence (Esther Garrel) reenters the picture, Gina is sent on a downward spiral of miscommunication, masochism, and madness. Inspire by European erotic dramas from the 70’s, THIRST STREET burrows deep into the delirious extremes we go to for love. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT THIRST STREET brings together two of my longest-standing, most nagging obsessions: France and Don Quixote. I spent my junior year of high school as an exchange student in France, in a foolish attempt to live out my dream of being a French poet. I realized within days that I wasn’t French (and never would be) and that poetry wasn’t for me, but nearly two decades later, I still find myself just as obsessed with the place. Our protagonist Gina is my Quixote, unflinching in her quest to find that most important (and ridiculous) thing: love. The emotions of THIRST STREET are just as hysterical as those in my last few movies, but the style here is much more fluid and deliberate, with surreal lighting increasingly threatening to devour the picture.

  • Film.Com/Movies Meet Micro-Budget Filmmaking’S Most Exciting Cinematographer
    Film.com/movies Meet Micro-Budget Filmmaking’s Most Exciting Cinematographer Calum Marsh July 17, 2013 Broadly speaking, micro-budget indie films don’t exactly have a reputation for high-quality cinematography, and if anything the smallest films are lauded in spite of how they look, not because of it. Independent productions rarely have the luxury of hiring an experienced DP, and with the advent of affordable, passably “high-end” digital cameras, amateur directors often assume they don’t need one, even though the results usually look, at best, like hyper-glossy TV commercials for cleaning products or Sunny D. The American independent cinema, in other words, is starved for technical competence—so much so that even nominally professional- looking features ought to be applauded for clearing the low bar—and even if we’re occasionally treated to an aesthetic powerhouse like “Computer Chess”, those rarities are decidedly the exception rather than the rule. But if you have been paying attention to the New York indie scene of late, where some of the most exciting films have been emerging in what feels like a kind of post-mumblecore new wave, you may have noticed a recurring credit: Sean Price Williams, who has quickly proven himself to be one of most exciting cinematographers working today. Williams first came to prominence with his eye-catching work on the documentary “Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo”, which artfully augmented its talking head interview footage with expressive panoramas of the Japanese skyline, and Ronnie Bronstein’s comedy “Frownland”, which distinguished itself from 2007’s mumblecore glut by being one of the few films of its kind to be shot on film.
