Via Eugene at indieWIRE comes this trailer for The New Talkies — ie: the “mumblecore” film festival set to take place later this month at the IFC Center here in NYC. I don’t know about you, but I definitely have my calendar blocked out to spend the better part of the week before Telluride at the series. I’ve seen all of the movies on the schedule with the exception of two (Frank Ross’ Hohokam and Kentucker Audley’s Team Picture), but I’m super-excited to revisit the films that I haven’t seen in a while in one long burst–it’s almost like a retrospective of the past three years of my festival-going life.Still, I wonder if this trailer doesn’t give the wrong impression. It’s definitely not going to be two-weeks worth of summer fun, all beautiful girls with rainbow slinkies and goofy boys with hand-held sparklers meeting under magic hour sky-scapes. There will be some of that, but all the beautiful people will be painfully inarticulate, their relationships will vacillate between tentative and tortured, and instead of happy endings, they’ll find bittersweet semi-resolutions. If this sounds more your speed anyway, you can find the full series schedule here, and if you can’t attend, keep your eye on SpoutBlog for my piles of coverage.
