2010 Cinereach Sundance Institute Grantees Includes Braden King, Victoria Mahoney and Margaret Brown
I'm getting to this press release a little late, but it's worth mentioning that this year's The Cinereach Project at Sundance Institute is supporting not one, not two, but three filmmaker names that we profiled in our inaugural American New Wave 25 series. The relatively new program offers a strong development, production and post-production support - and it's not chump change either. Eleven Documentary and Narrative Feature Film Projects Selected include post production grants towards a pair of projects that I'll be covering at Sundance next year in Victoria Mahoney's Yelling to the Sky (see pic) and Braden King's Here. Other projects worth noting are Dash Shaw's The Ruined Cast and Margaret Brown's latest docu project. Here's the full press release. Post Production Granting Yelling to the Sky Writer-director: Victoria Mahoney (Sundance Institute Directors and Screenwriters Lab Fellow) Producer: Diane Houslin (Sundance Institute Creative Producing Fellow...

PARK CITY -- The undercurrent of fear, paranoia and hostility brewing in the country comes home to roost in "Farmingville", Catherine Tambini and Carlos Sandoval's disturbing documentary about xenophobia in suburbia.
A normally conservative and staid working-class community on Long Island, Farmingville becomes galvanized around the issue of illegal aliens from Mexico who have settled in town looking for work as day laborers. The strength of the film is its presentation of a complex national issue as it rears its ugly head on a local level. The POV Production will make provocative television with a good chance for afterlife in the classroom.
The events of 2000-2001 depicted in the film, including the brutal beating of two immigrants, are especially timely in light of recent efforts to forge a new national immigration policy, one that will no doubt be unpopular to the majority of Farmingville residents.
One local faction, led by Margaret Bianculli-Dyber, a burly New York high school teacher, argues that deportation is the best policy. National activists like the heinous Glenn Spencer, from a group called American Patrol, flock to Farmingville to throw fuel on the fire. They imagine the immigrants coming to reconquer and take over the country, and together they sing "God Bless America".
Saner voices try to prevail with the creation of a job center where the newcomers can congregate and wait for work. But this measure is ultimately defeated.
Tambini and Sandoval lived in the community for a year and present the story with great immediacy. The film could have benefited from some deeper analysis of why these people feel their way of life is so threatened. But any way you look at it, it's a sobering view of where this country could be headed.
