SUMMARY:WRIF Film: The Sweet East
DESCRIPTION:Smack in the middle of a high school trip to our nation’s capital\, self-possessed teen Lillian (Talia Ryder) breaks off from her classmates\, kicking off a journey straight down the rabbit hole of the New Weird America. In the rollicking feature debut for both director Sean Price Williams (known for his grotty-beautiful cinematography for films by Alex Ross Perry and the Safdie brothers) and critic-turned-screenwriter Nick Pinkerton\, the Eastern seaboard becomes the site for a deranged and hilarious autopsy of contemporary U.S. life in which Lillian becomes an indifferent sounding board to all manner of loquacious\, callous oddballs\, including a sexually numb\, white supremacist pedant (a delightfully committed Simon Rex) and a pair of wildly excitable indie filmmakers (Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy O. Harris\, comedy gold). Tying it all together is a performance of remarkable poise and confidence by Ryder (memorable in Eliza Hittman’s Never Rarely Sometimes Always)\, who provides the tender center to this cockeyed exhibition of all-purpose mockery. \n“A fresh take from outside the echochamber.” — Polyester Zine \n“Williams and Pinkerton fashion a panoramic burlesque of modern America from a series of barely exaggerated characterizations.” – Filmmaker Magazine \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/

SUMMARY:WRIF Film: Joonam
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Sierra Urich grew up in rural Vermont\, a place and an upbringing far removed from Iran\, the homeland of her mother\, Mitra\, and grandmother\, Behjat. Only knowing Iran through family stories\, food\, and holidays\, and with the prospect of travel to the country a seemingly impossible dream\, she embarks on a personal quest to make sense of her fractured Iranian identity. Named for a Farsi term of endearment\, JOONAM is infused with humor and heart like only a film about family could be. Interrogating family history and memory\, including her grandmother’s experiences as a preteen bride and her mother’s rebellious teenage years during the Iranian Revolution\, Sierra Urich constructs a rich\, personal film that poignantly reflects the experiences of the Iranian diasporic community and speaks to anyone affected by the dislocation that accompanies immigration. \nFollowed by a talkback with the filmmaker! \n“A heartfelt exploration of those living within a diaspora\, the fractured connection each generation has to their own culture\, and the irrevocable bond of shared roots.” – Roger Ebert \n“An especially timely meditation on what it means to be Iranian American in this moment.” – PopSugar \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/

SUMMARY:WRIF Film: Orlando\, My Political Biography
DESCRIPTION:Writer\, philosopher\, and now filmmaker\, Paul B. Preciado’s newest work is poetic in form and function. Hybridizing literary adaptation with modes of fiction and nonfiction filmmaking\, Preciado uses Virginia Woolf’s 1928 century-spanning\, gender-bending romance\, Orlando: A Biography\, as a template for the modern trans experience. Interlacing passages from the novel with contemporary testimonies\, including the filmmaker’s own\, the film fashions its focus on “gender poets\,” those whose lives transcend the bounds of binary expression. Preciado’s cast of contemporary Orlandos offer intimate access and playful insight into their experiences with hormones\, gender-affirming care\, institutional erasure\, and the political positioning of trans-people subjected to a normative regime. No two stories are the same\, and\, yet\, somehow Woolf’s fantastical biography contains them all. \n“Preciado’s superpower in this warm\, generous movie is that while he speaks brilliantly to the cages of identity\, he sees — and shares — a way out of them. He talks and listens\, he exhorts and confesses. He insists on pleasure\, speaks to happiness\, invites laughter and opens worlds. Here\, joy reigns supreme\, and it is exhilarating.” – The New York Times \n“Part trans documentary\, part autobiography\, and part adaptation\, Orlando\, My Political Biography\, finds Preciado grappling with the possibilities and limits of this novel he loves.” – Autostraddle \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/

Their friendship blossoms\, until they become inseparable\, to the rhythm of 80’s NYC. One summer night\, Dog\, with great sadness\, is forced to abandon Robot at the beach. Will they ever meet again? \n“Poetic\, lyrical\, and nostalgic in both its setting and animation storytelling\, Pablo Berger’s Robot Dreams is an incredible cinematic experience with a rich examination of friendship\, told maturely and sincerely.” – Rendy Reviews \n“Now the fierce battle for the title of the best animated film of the year has a new strong contender.” – IndieWire \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/

SUMMARY:WRIF Film: Four Daughters
DESCRIPTION:Between light and darkness stands Olfa\, a Tunisian woman and the mother of four daughters. One day\, her two older daughters disappear. To fill in their absence\, the filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania invites professional actresses and invents a unique cinema experience that will lift the veil on Olfa and her daughters’ life stories. \n“The form of “Four Daughters” — neither fiction\, nor documentary; neither memoir\, nor reportage — [is] oddly fitting\, even when it keeps bumping up against Ben Hania’s oddly romanced filmmaking.” – Variety \n“Ben Hania and her subjects give us a profound live window into the cycle of trauma and\, in doing so\, radically trace an under-recognized path between deeply personal pain and dogmatic extremism.” – Paste Magazine \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/

Why is American democracy in crisis? And\, most importantly… What can we do about it? \n“The seeming irreparable divisions in our country have been a hot topic of this year’s SXSW entries\, but one documentary is preoccupied with finding solutions.” – Austin Monthly\, The Films We Loved Most at SXSW \n“Our democracy needs us to be joiners! …[an] urgent message.” – Hillary Clinton \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/

SUMMARY:Farm to Film Fest 2023
DESCRIPTION:It matters how farmers farm and eaters eat. Our current food system is not supporting people or the planet – but there is tremendous hope for change. By developing a deeper understanding of regenerative agriculture and the indigenous practices it is rooted in\, we can all do our part to support transformational change. Join us for a day of food\, films\, live music\, workshops\, thoughtful discussion\, dancing and more! \nFarm to Film Fest 2023 is a collaboration between JAM – Junction Arts & Media\, Vital Communities\, and King Arther Baking Company\, made possible in part through support from Vermont Humanities and media sponsor Vermont Public that aims to build awareness of the importance of agriculture as a climate solution and of the harms the current exploitive\, racist\, and unsustainable food system creates. Our mission is to promote Upper Valley farms that are taking direct climate action and to share hopeful solutions for climate crisis. \nView Farm To Film Festival 2023 schedule.
