Regal Essex Crossing – Block Three

Bowery Film Festival is proud to screen the following selections:

• Our America

  Directed by Dean Winkler and Donald Butler
  

  “Our America” is a short-form, non-narrative meditation on American 20th century industrial promises gone awry. The film explores the dreams of World War II America through imagery based on 1943 propaganda posters called Our America which were distributed to schools throughout the U.S. From the vantage point of nearly a century later, the film examines how the innocent, celebratory intent of American ingenuity has led us on a path of unintended consequences.

  The fearless bassist of a quirky punk band, shakes things up when she performs a seance that will forever alter the future.

• Signal Problems

  Directed by Adam Volerich
  

  Just under 2 million civilians ride the New York City Subway every year. What if the masterminds controlling this underground system were voice over actors? Signal Problems, a 2 minute comedy starring Joel Garland (Orange is The New Black) and Molly Leland (Ozark), explores the dystopian world in which the New York City MTA is unreliable.
