Thanks to our friends at Palace we have five in-season double passes to give away to the American Essentials Film Festival to be held at Palace Centro Cinemas, Brisbane from May 17- 28.
Twenty films make their Australian premiere—many hot on the heels of their world premieres at A-list festivals around the world. The festival celebrates the latest indie treasures in narrative feature and documentary, together with newly restored American classics.
Straddling styles from thriller to melodrama, comedy to body horror, symphonic documentary to visual art, American Essentials’ world-class program of thirty-one films curated by Artistic Director Richard Sowada reflects the remarkable breadth of contemporary independent cinema produced in the US.
Highlights of the fifteen new American Essentials narrative features include Opening Night film, 20th Century Women, Oscar-winning director Mike Mills’ moving tale of a mother doing her best to bring up a teenage son starring Annette Bening and Greta Gerwig; Are We Not Cats, a deliciously imaginative debut of romantic magical realism; Walking Out, an incredible wilderness drama; the lean and mean thriller Detour, and Ewan McGregor’s directorial debut, an adaptation of Philip Roth’s sprawling epic American Pastoral.
