MSP Film is Open For Business...Online! Featuring Exclusive Online Screenings of Award Winners
A message from MSP Film Society:
WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS - ONLINE!
Though our daily in-house cinema programming is temporarily suspended and the 2020 MSPIFF disrupted for now, we are busy looking for creative ways to bring film viewing opportunities to you, our amazing members and patrons!
In this spirit, we are thrilled to offer you the opportunity to watch two extraordinary new films from the comfort of your rocking-chair, couch, yoga-mat or kitchen table: The 2020 MSPIFF official selection Bacurau, by Brazillian filmmakers Juliano Dornelles and Kleber Mendonça Filho, and 2019 SXSW Audience Award winner Saint Frances, by director Alex Thompson and writer/star Kelly O'Sullivan.
Neither film will be otherwise available for public rental or sale for several months, but we are partnering with independent distributors Kino Lorber and Oscilloscope Laboratories to bring a brave new alternative cinematic experience to film fans in our community! In collaboration with our industry peers, we’re making a program of films accessible to you now for home viewing. Details for accessing the films is below.
Your financial participation will directly support MSP Film as we reassess, plan for the future, and uphold our commitment to bringing our community together through the very best in international independent cinema. Thank you. We do it for you and couldn't do it without you.
Enjoy the shows!
A few years from now... Bacurau, a small village in the Brazilian sertão, mourns the loss of its matriarch, Carmelita, who lived to be 94. Days later, its inhabitants notice that their village has literally vanished from online maps and a UFO-shaped drone is seen flying overhead. There are forces that want to expel them from their homes, and soon, in a genre-bending twist, a band of armed mercenaries led by Udo Kier arrive in town picking off the inhabitants one by one.
