Lo-fi psychedelia and collateral sound collage from Saber Khan and Brooklyns Padna.
A first feature by Robin Dunn. A unique stylistic blend of Before Sunrise, My Dinner with Andre and Lost Highway. Robin Dunn’s feature explores the light and dark sides of passionate love, eros, thantos and love of a good conversation. When you’re in love there’s nothing like those long spinning intimate dialogues that stretch time out and widen your eyes and your heart. Julie and Sam the young lovers in question ruthlessly and honestly dissect themselves and the world in an effort to get closer to the eternal mystery of the space between people.
Robin Dunn (“Sam”) occupies the suggestively megalomaniacal role of writer/director/actor/editor/producer and Anna McConnell (“Julia”), brought her wily personality to the screen in this, her second feature.
‘Wilderness’ was shot on a micro-budget with the Panasonic HVX-200 with expert lighting by Director of Photography Paul Nordin.
Director Robin Dunn will be present for Q &A and to hear your comments, criticism . It promises to be a rough, beautiful, uncompromising dissection of the passions and vicious cruelties of a tortured and powerful love affair.
Come see it.
On The Edge is a documentary covering the brutal murders of hundreds of poor young women in the border town of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico,murders that have been repeatedly ignored and unresolved by police and governments since 1993, despite the continued and persistent efforts of family members and activists to obtain justice for the victims. Rather than provide an easy, murder-mystery style solution to the crimes, the film sets out to explain the social, cultural, and economic factors that have created this situation where the killings can continue, and continue to go unpunished. In addition to explaining the circumstances, On The Edge situates the Juarez killings in the context of wider political and economic trends, showing the audience that this is not just an isolated phenomenon in one far-off city, but a glimpse at a nightmarish future for much of the world, unless something is done to prevent it. Steev Hise (in person), 58 minutes, 2006, in Spanish and English with English and Spanish subtitles.
