Nancy

NANCY (CHRISTINA CHOE)
THURSDAY MAY 31 @ METROTECH COMMONS

FREE EVENT
FILMMAKER CHRISTINA CHOE IN ATTENDANCE

Nancy is a provocative psychological thriller about love, intimacy, and trust – and what happens when lies become truth. Craving connection with others, Nancy creates elaborate identities and hoaxes under pseudonyms on the internet. When she meets a couple whose daughter went missing thirty years ago, fact and fiction begin to blur in Nancy’s mind, and she becomes increasingly convinced these strangers are her real parents. As their bond deepens, reasonable doubts give way to willful belief – and the power of emotion threatens to overcome all rationality. A Samuel Goldwyn Films release.

Venue: MetroTech Commons
Address: 5 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn

8:00: PM: Doors Open | 8:30 PM: Live Music | 9:00 PM: Film Begins | 10:30 PM: Q&A

Damsel

DAMSEL (DAVID ZELLNER, NATHAN ZELLNER)
SATURDAY, JUNE 2 @ GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY

An affectionate reinvention of the western genre that showcases the Zellner Brothers’ (Kumiko the Treasure Hunter) trademark unpredictability, off-kilter sense of humor and unique brand of humanism, Damsel follows an affluent pioneer Samuel Alabaster (Pattinson) as he ventures across the American Frontier to find and marry the love of his life, Penelope (Wasikowska). As Samuel traverses the Wild West with a drunkard named Parson Henry (David Zellner) and a miniature horse called Butterscotch, their once-simple journey grows treacherous, increasingly blurring the lines between hero, villain and damsel.

Venue: Green-Wood Cemetery
Address: 500 25th Street, Brooklyn

7:45 PM: Doors Open | 8:30 PM: Live Music | 9:00 PM: Films Begin | 10:30 PM: Q&A | 11:00 PM: After-Party
