NoBudge Live #31

NoBudge is happy to present new work from a group of emerging indie filmmakers mostly based in New York. These nine short films reflect a sampling of our varied programming style going from DIY sci-fi, to absurd sketch-comedy, to a tone poem about grief. Beyond the opening experimental documentary, each film falls in the narrative category but exists on a broad spectrum between ultra silly and deeply earnest. Four of the films are NYC or Brooklyn premieres and each director will be in attendance for a post-film Q&A and Afterparty.

NoBudge is an online platform spotlighting the best in low-budget indie filmmaking. “One of the best places to sample what’s happening in low-budget cinema worldwide,” says Glenn Kenny of The New York Times. Its mission is to provide a supportive home for emerging indie filmmakers working with limited resources and without major industry connections, and to be a trusted discovery platform.

Possessing a desire to be an on-air personality since childhood, Stern meanders through the radio world, always with his supportive wife, Alison (Mary McCormack), by his side. Landing a gig in Washington, D.C., Stern meets Robin Quivers (herself), who will become his long-time partner in crime. When the two move to New York, they face the wrath of NBC executives.

Wings of Desire

Two angels, Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander), glide through the streets of Berlin, observing the bustling population, providing invisible rays of hope to the distressed but never interacting with them. When Damiel falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion (Solveig Dommartin), the angel longs to experience life in the physical world, and finds–with some words of wisdom from actor Peter Falk (playing himself) — that it might be possible for him to take human form.

Being John Malkovich

While at work, Craig discovers a portal that leads into the mind of renowned actor John Malkovich. When he lets his attractive co-worker Maxine (Catherine Keener) in on the secret, they begin both an unusual business scheme and an odd relationship that involves Craig’s restless wife, Lotte (Cameron Diaz).

A Hard Day’s Night

Starring: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr

The Beatles in their feature film debut, one of the greatest rock-and-roll comedy adventures ever. The film has a fully restored negative and digitally restored soundtrack. The film takes on the just-left-of-reality style of mock-documentary, following “a day in the life” of John, Paul, George, and Ringo as fame takes them by storm.

Jack and Jill

Starring: Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes, Al Pacino

Having increased its lifespan as meme fodder for the social media landscape, Jack and Jill is arguably Adam Sandler’s most absurd movie, brimming with goofy antics that rival Jerry Lewis at his most unhinged. In what may be the only straight-up comedy he has appeared in, Al Pacino puts 100% into playing a wild version of himself – an accomplished actor drawn to crude twin Jill (who is, of course, Adam Sandler in drag), his Dulcinea, evocative of his Bronx origins. This performance is such a gift – would you really pass up the opportunity to see the Dunkaccino commercial on 35mm film?
