Piss Alley: SMITHEREENS with Bri Jones
Susan Seidelman's first feature film centers on a deeply confused woman in an object-less tunnel of desire. This time-capsule of East Village street fashion and punk rock living reminds us how dumb we are when we're young. Give us more problematic female characters please!

Let Things Affect You: HUNGER with Ted Harris
Michael Fassbender describes HUNGER as the work of which he's most proud. He endured malnourishment and physical abuse to faithfully portray Bobby Sands during his hunger strike inside Maze Prison in 1981. Steve McQueen offers an unflinching look at the violence endured at the hands of the British government, and documents the reality of the strikers' and the guards' existence inside the prison.
