Featured Screening: Young Lakota at 92YTribeca

Tonight Flaherty NYC: More Fun in the New World, the weekly election-themed series I have programmed for the Flaherty Seminar, continues at 92YTribeca with Young Lakota. Filmmakers Marion Lipschutz and Rose Rosenblatt will be in attendance for a discussion moderated by MoMA Film’s Sally Berger.

Young Lakota explores the divergent political awakenings of neighbors Sunny Clifford and Brandon Ferguson, a pair of young Oglala Sioux living on the Pine Ridge Reservation. When South Dakota passes a law criminalizing abortion, Cecila Fire Thunder, the tribe’s first female president, announces plans to create a women’s clinic on the reservation’s sovereign territory. The move attracts widespread media attention, which Fire Thunder’s political opponents seize on to impeach her. In the subsequent political storm Sunny and Brandon are faced with difficult choices as they try to forge a better future for the tribe while securing their own well-being. Whereas Sunny and twin sister, Serena, campaign on behalf of Fire Thunder and women’s right to choose, Brandon, sympathetic to their cause, nevertheless accepts a paid job as the right-hand man of Fire Thunder’s opponent. The result is a uniquely sensitive portrait of bright young people at a galvanizing stage of their lives and whose cultural pride is informed by a continually uneasy relationship with mainstream American political culture.

The show begins tonight at 7:30 pm and, like all Flaherty shows, culminates in a conversation that encourages critical dialog between the audience and filmmakers. Afterwards, people are encouraged to hang out and continue the discussion over drinks and lovingly crafted tiny pizzas.

Today through October 21 the Goethe-Institut‘s Wyoming Building, 5 East Third Street, holds an exhibition in tribute to the late Christoph Schlingensief, the German film, theater director and visual artist who posthumously won the Venice Biennale’s Golden Lion for his German Pavillion in 2011. For this evening’s opening, friend, distributor and fellow filmmaker Frieder Schlaich of Filmgalerie 451 will introduce Crackle of Time, which documents Schlingensief’s Opera Village in Burkina Faso. MoMA and MoMA P.S.1 will host a comprehensive retrospective of Schlingensief’s work in 2014.

And tonight Tony Conrad presents a screening at Anthology Film Archives of his cable access work completed in the 1990s in Buffalo, NY. This is in conjunction with the ongoing solo survey of his work at 80WSE.
