Closing Night: Dark Night
- 7:30PM
Brooklyn filmmaker Tim Sutton (Memphis, BAMcinemaFest 2014; Pavilion, BAMcinemaFest 2012), called “among the country’s most intriguing cinematic anthropologists” (Variety), returns with this uncompromising portrait of American violence and alienation. Loosely inspired by the multiplex shooting that devastated Aurora, Colorado, in 2012, Sutton’s third film observes six strangers as their lives intersect at the site of imminent brutality. Boasting evocative cinematography by Hélène Louvart (Pina, The Wonders) and a haunting score by Maica Armata, Dark Night is an impressionistic journey into the dread lurking beneath the placid surface of suburban life.
