Todd Haynes Selects: WENDY AND LUCY
Directed by Kelly Reichardt
Wendy Carroll (Michelle Williams) is driving to Ketchikan, Alaska, in hopes of a summer of lucrative work at the Northwestern Fish
cannery, and the start of a new life with her dog, Lucy. When her car breaks down in Oregon, however, the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart, and she confronts a series of increasingly dire economic decisions, with far-ranging repercussions
for herself and Lucy. WENDY AND LUCY addresses issues of sympathy and generosity at the edges of American life, revealing the
limits and depths of people’s duty to each other in tough times.

CITY OF GHOSTS
(USA. 2003, 116 minutes)
Directed by Matt Dillon
Matt Dillon directed himself in this luminously menacing film. He plays a shady businessman who finds himself in Bangkok after fleeing
the investigation of an insurance scam in the US. Looking for his missing partner and his own promised cut of the action, he finds instead a
bizarre and volatile environment where cleverness is bait. In CITY OF GHOSTS, Dillon and crew have captured that ominous undercurrent of
the unknown and delivered a dizzying and accomplished neo-noir.
DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN
Directed by Susan Seidelman
A bored suburban housewife (Rosanna Arquette), escapes her routine by reading personal ads and following the adventures of a man who’s
desperately seeking Susan. While spying on Susan (Madonna) Rosanna is accidentally hit on the head, wakes up with amnesia, and is
mistaken for the free-spirited Susan. Cinematography by Edward Lachman, 2013 Faith Hubley Career Achievement Honoree.
Fri., June 21, Art House 2 @ 11:30am
DRUGSTORE COWBOY
Directed by Gus Van Sant
In the words of Roger Ebert, DRUGSTORE COWBOY is “one of the best films in the long tradition of American outlaw road movies —a tradition
that includes Bonnie and Clyde, Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy and Badlands. It is about criminals who do not intend to be particularly bad
people, but whose lives run away with them. … The movie stars Matt Dillon, in one of the great recent American movie performances” The
breakthrough picture for Gus Van Sant (PIFF Filmmaker on the Edge 2002).
FAR FROM HEAVEN
Directed by Todd Haynes

cinematography that earned Ed Lachman an Oscar nomination along with a bevy of awards and accolades. Award-winning cinematography

him to her commune in Scotland. There, they live with the Pope, the Queen, Abe Lincoln, the Three Stooges, Buckwheat, Shirley Temple,
Madonna, Sammy Davis Jr., and Charlie Chaplin. A completely original film about the importance of individuality and finding yourself.
SPRING BREAKERS
Directed by Harmony Korine
James Franco, Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens star in this wild film from perennial provocateur Harmony Korine about four flat-broke
co-eds whose spring fling in Florida turns into a booze, drug and violence-fuelled bacchanal. With Korine’s breathtaking style, SPRING
BREAKERS is the rawest (and perhaps greatest) movie about spring break ever.

HOME VIEWING
Thu., June 20 at Ten Tables
In the age of Netflix, Hulu, VOD, and state-of-the-art home theater systems, it’s understandable how DVD and movie theater
ticket sales could have hit a slump. But along with the convenience of portability—with the wide variety of alternative viewing platforms constantly being introduced—how does a consumer know which options to plug into, and how long any of these
mechanisms will stick around? Be prepared to be surprised about what’s new, next, and best—and what old reliables may be
re-emerging—with a panel of guests that includes Darryl Gudmundson (Gatekeeper, Funny or Die), Denise Kasell (Executive Director, Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation), and Nancy Schafer (Founder, Tribeca Film).
SPOTLIGHT ON NEW ENGLAND

have redefined independent filmmaking and left a lasting impact on the pop culture landscape. Join John Waters (Pink Flamingos,
Serial Mom), Christine Vachon (Kids, Boys Don’t Cry), and Mary Harron (I Shot Andy Warhol, American Psycho), as they discuss their
experiences with filmmaking on the edge and its ever-moving line.
A CONVERSATION WITH NEIL LABUTE

keen direction and expertly guided performances. Moving effortlessly between stage and screen, Neil LaBute tells stories that
insist on being thought about and debated afterwards. Moderated by Jeffry George, Executive Director, Wellfleet Harbor Actors
Theater.
