Migrating Forms, the festival formed out of the ashes of the now-defunct New York Underground Film Festival, has announced the lineup for their first installment, to take place at New York’s Anthology Film Archives next month. In addition to new works by Sharon Lockhart and Owen Land, Forms will present two films we’ve covered previously, Alejandro Adams‘ Canary (right; we interviewed Adams when the film debuted last month at Cinequest) and Jessica Oreck’s Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo (see our SXSW preview interview). I’d also be excited to check out Impolex based on the catalog logline alone (”An unjustifiable blend of the bare-bones realism of John Ford’s WWII documentaries and the glorious stupidity of Abbot and Costello”), even if it wasn’t directed by sometime SpoutBlog freelancer Alex Ross Perry.
You can download a PDF of the full schedule at the Migrating Forms website, which is scheduled to relaunch on April 1.
We are actually showing an older Sharon Lockhart movie, Goshogoaka (1998), not her new film, Lunch Break.
Thanks a lot for the post!
