Double Feature
The Sweet East
Directed by acclaimed cinematographer Sean Price Williams (Good Time), described by The New Yorker as “the cinematographer for many of the best and most significant independent films of the past decade.”
THE SWEET EAST is a picaresque journey through the cities and woods of the Eastern seaboard of the United States. Lillian, a high school senior from South Carolina, gets her first glimpse of the wider world on a class trip to Washington, D.C. Separated from her schoolmates, she embarks on a fractured road trip in search of America. Along the way, she falls in with a variety of strange factions, each living out their own alternative realities in our present day. (Utopia Distribution)
