The Closest Farthest Away - Miami Light Project

Trash Humpers - Miami International Film Festival

Harmony Korine's self-professed "ode to vandalism" introduces four insane elderly characters in Nashville who break things, get stinking drunk and murder people, abduct children, pour soap on pancakes, get it on with trash, and screech and screech and screech! A groundbreaking, insistently odd cinematic experience sure to provoke strong reactions.

Cutting the Edge - Sweetgrass - Miami International Film Festival

An observational documentary that utterly transports you to a forgotten corner of the American West, a glimpse at the final sheep drive the state of Montana ever hosted. This often funny, occasionally terrifying and almost always beautifully composed film follows a pair of modern shepherds who travel mostly on foot with three thousand sheep over a two hundred mile Montana expanse that cuts across the seemingly unending Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains.

Eraserhead - Miami International Film Festival

A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings - PlayGround Theatre
