2019 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: #68. Calvin Reeder – The Procedure 2 (Short)

Date:

Already a long history with the fest, Calvin Reeder has premiered his features at the fest in The Oregonian (Sundance ’11) and The Rambler (Sundance ’13), and loaded up his shorts there as well in Little Farm (Sundance ’07), The Rambler (Sundance ’08) and his last project which birthed a sequel. Sight unseen, we already feel bad for what Christian Palmer’s character might endure and we feel good about the 180 seconds of bliss. A Kickstarter funded project, shooting took place this fall.

Rooftop Films 2019

Gist: A man is forced to endure another strange experiment.

Production Co./Producers: Carlos Alberto Fernandez Lopez, Megan Leonard and Christian Palmer.

Prediction: Short Film Program

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
