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/ URL:https://uvjam.org/event/wrif-film-the-sweet-east/ LOCATION:Briggs Opera House\, 5 S Main St\, White River Junction\, VT\, 05001\, United States CATEGORIES:Film Festivals,Film Screenings,Past Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uvjam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/wrif-poster-THE-SWEET-EAST2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240218T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240218T183000 DTSTAMP:20260422T150647 CREATED:20240112T210213Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240513T110213Z UID:10000951-1708275600-1708281000@uvjam.org 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/ URL:https://uvjam.org/event/wrif-film-joonam/ LOCATION:Briggs Opera House\, 5 S Main St\, White River Junction\, VT\, 05001\, United States CATEGORIES:Film Festivals,Film Screenings,Past Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uvjam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/wrif-poster-JOONAM2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240218T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240218T160000 DTSTAMP:20260422T150647 CREATED:20240112T205906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240513T110214Z UID:10000950-1708264800-1708272000@uvjam.org 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/ URL:https://uvjam.org/event/wrif-film-orlando-my-political-biography/ LOCATION:Briggs Opera House\, 5 S Main St\, White River Junction\, VT\, 05001\, United States CATEGORIES:Film Festivals,Film Screenings,Past Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uvjam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/wrif-poster-ORLANDO2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240218T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240218T123000 DTSTAMP:20260422T150647 CREATED:20240112T205644Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240513T110214Z UID:10000949-1708254000-1708259400@uvjam.org SUMMARY:WRIF Film: Robot Dreams DESCRIPTION:Dog lives in Manhattan and he’s tired of being alone. One day he decides to build himself a robot\, a companion. 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/ URL:https://uvjam.org/event/wrif-film-robot-dreams/ LOCATION:Briggs Opera House\, 5 S Main St\, White River Junction\, VT\, 05001\, United States CATEGORIES:Film Festivals,Film Screenings,Past Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uvjam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/wrif-poster-ROBOT-DREAMS2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240217T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240217T220000 DTSTAMP:20260422T150647 CREATED:20240112T204856Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240513T110214Z UID:10000947-1708201800-1708207200@uvjam.org SUMMARY:WRIF Film: Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person DESCRIPTION:Sasha is a young vampire with a serious problem: she’s too sensitive to kill.

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/ URL:https://uvjam.org/event/wrif-four-daughters/ LOCATION:Briggs Opera House\, 5 S Main St\, White River Junction\, VT\, 05001\, United States CATEGORIES:Film Festivals,Film Screenings,Past Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uvjam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/wrif-poster-FOUR-DAUGHTERS2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240217T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240217T163000 DTSTAMP:20260422T150647 CREATED:20240112T204446Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240513T110215Z UID:10000945-1708182000-1708187400@uvjam.org SUMMARY:WRIF Film: Perfect Days DESCRIPTION:Hirayama seems utterly content with his simple life as a cleaner of toilets in Tokyo.

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.

It directly relates to challenges in the Upper Valley including: housing\, childcare\, transportation\, diversity\, food security\, inclusivity\, and more.\nFREE and open to the public!\nLet us know you’re coming HERE\n\nSchedule:\n5:30PM Community Reception & Potluck – Briggs Opera House Lobby\, 2nd floor\n6:30PM “Utica: The Last Refuge” Film Screening & Post-Film Discussion Panel – Briggs Opera House\n\nAbout The Film\n“Utica: The Last Refuge tells the story of how a struggling rustbelt city has rebounded via the major contribution of its refugee population. Given that there are 25 million refugees globally\, fewer than 1% of whom are likely to be resettled by current standards\, there is a lot to be learned from Utica’s example.\nWe know that resettling refugees is one way we can fulfill our humanitarian obligations. If it can be shown that doing so benefits the communities in which they land\, which is well supported by data\, ramping the program up makes great sense.”\nLearn more at about the film HERE.\nWe strive to host inclusive\, accessible events that enable all individuals to engage fully.
