NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE |
Enter Dorian Gray, a
smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious
past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the
scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a
bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video
installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous
picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming
vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and
ultimately, a bargain with the devil. |

Colony Theatre
1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL |
U.S. PREMIERE |
A force to be reckoned with in the history of independent film, Kenneth
Anger finds his energy in the broadest of pop cultural associations—from
the sexual fantasies of sailor boys, bikers, and queer macho to the
magical forces of nature and the divine. His earliest cinematic visions
were fueled by visions of celebrity, sprung out of a youthful imagination
under the influence Hollywood glamour. With Anger narrating his own life and work, Elio Gelmini’s Anger
Me almost serves as a filmed autobiography of this extremely private
auteur. |

Dai Sijie |

Gusman Center of the Performing Arts
174 East Flagler Street, Downtown Miami, FL |
EAST COAST PREMIERE |
In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic,
forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in
modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and
centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a
repressive backwater. With tender
lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this
taboo love affair with precious few words and a
treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual
rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude
encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs. |
