Festival Schedule:

1:00 pm: Our Future Filmmakers

4:00 pm: WHEN NIGHT IS FALLING

An uptight and conservative woman, working on tenure as a literacy professor at a large urban university, finds herself strangely attracted to a free-spirited, liberal woman who works at a local carnival that comes to town.

6:30 pm: TURTLES

Since Thom and Henri met 35 years ago, their love for each other has never faltered. The seemingly perfect life they had built in Brussels started to go awry when Henri retired from being a police officer. Now, Henri’s days seem to stretch endlessly, each one as bland as the next while his feelings for Thom are fading fast. They drift away from each other a little more each day, to the point that their house has become a battleground. Thom’s love for Henri remains strong though and he is not ready to give up. He will do anything to save his relationship and rekindle their love, even if that means asking Henri for a divorce.

9:00 pm: SCARECROW IN A GARDEN OF CUCUMBERS

Directed by Robert J. Kaplan and starring Andy Warhol Factory superstar and Lou Reed muse Holly Woodlawn, this musical satire about a small-town girl (Woodlawn) trying to make it in the Big Apple was nearly a lost film. Woodlawn had already worked on cult films such as Trash and Women in Revolt, and through her time at the Warhol Factory she would go on to become one of the most important trans icons of her era. Here, she brings an unforgettable charisma to the role of Eve, an aspiring actress who meets a wild cast of characters (including another member of Warhol’s Factory Tally Brown and the film debut of David Margulies) while navigating the streets of New York.
