Fresh Kill - Special 35mm Screening at Cine
Fresh Kill - Special 35mm Screening
Internationally acclaimed artist/filmmaker Shu Lea Cheang will be present at the *ATHENS PREMIERE screening of the gloriously restored 35mm print of her cyber-dystopian classic FRESH KILL – to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its original release.
Accompanied by two young filmmakers - Jean-Paul Jones (Los Angeles based) and Jazz Franklin (New Orleans based), Cheang travels with the 35mm film print on this 20 city tour across the heartlands of America connecting to a demographically, racially, and gender diverse audience.
Young lesbian parents Shareen and Claire are raising their 5-year-old daughter Honey in a converted garage on Staten Island. Shareen salvages refuse with her pickup truck while Claire waits tables at the hip Naga Saki restaurant in Manhattan, caught up in a global exchange of industrial waste via contaminated sushi. As a ghost barge bearing nuclear refuse circles the planet in search of a willing port, household pets begin to glow ominously, then disappear; and people start speaking in tongues. The crisis escalates when a multinational corporation is implicated, the couple's daughter Honey mysteriously vanishes, and a group of young New Yorkers strike back in an unlikely alliance with activists in the developing world.
