Alex Andre’s award-winning feature film directorial debut Pratfall stars Joshua Burge (The Revenant, Buzzard, Relaxer, and stars in Joel Potrykus’ upcoming Vulcanizadora) as a troubled New Yorker roaming the city who runs into French tourist and ends up on life changing journey.
Ciela directed by Mauricio Sierra won the coveted Grand Chameleon and the Best Narrative Short awards at Brooklyn Film Festival’s 26th edition, “Human Times,” which wrapped on Sunday, June 11th. The film is described as an impressionistic fable, seen through the eyes of a young misfit named Ciela, who forms a secret friendship with an octopus. As her fantasy world collides with reality, Ciela sets off a chain of events that disrupt her sleepy fishing village.
Joshua Burge (“Buzzard,” “Relaxer,” “The Revenant”) plays Eli, a troubled insomniac who encounters Joelle (Chloé Groussard), an enigmatic French tourist in Central Park. The two set off on a sleepless New York adventure as the city casts a shadow over them in the new independent film Pratfall.
Brooklyn Film Festival (BFF) announced the film lineup for its 26th edition, themed Human Times. The 2023 edition will show in competition 155 features and shorts from over 30 countries. 10 films will also play as part of one of the most successful BFF programs, now in its 19th year, kidsfilmfest.
