MARY FILIPPO/EMILY BREER
Both filmmakers will be present
Mary Filippo and Emily Breer are exciting young New York filmmakers who make witty and irreverent social portraits. Filippo will premiere Feel the Fear (1990): “Blast off. God hasn’t overlooked you in the space age. Why then this feeling of vague discontent, pessimistic melancholy, world sadness” (from the soundtrack); and Who Do You Think You Are? (1987). Emily Breer will show Moona Luna (in progress): “I painted a set into my apartment to allow for Dr. Goodfriends to become Mr. Bad Actors”; and Brute Charm (1989). “Breer combines animation, live footage, cacophonous sounds and goofy visual puns… with a tilted lyricism all her own.” – Katherine Dieckmann
