The first annual St. Lawrence International Film Festival has just announced its second wave of programming, which includes the Closing Night film, “Frank and Cindy,” the Empire State Filmmaker Award film, “The Preppie Connection,” the shorts programs and more.
“The Preppie Connection” is the recipient of the inaugural Empire State Filmmaker Award, which honors New York filmmaking. The feature is based on a true story about a private school student who ran a drug trafficking ring to make friends in the early 1980s.
The Film Frontiere program, which brings together a collection of foreign language films, includes titles such as “The Break-In,” “Bright Night,” “Listopad,” and “Princess.” “The Last Treasure Hunt,” “Lost Conquest,” “The Nymphets” and “Soldedad” will all be screening in the Write/Rec slate, which focuses on films made entirely outside of the studio system and with small budgets.
The Festival also released a satiric promo video, starring festival advisory board member and CSI star Mark Valley, who promises that the inaugural film fest will showcase “the best f*cking films in the world.” Take a look at the video above.
