American indie film love is on full display at a fest that I’ve coined farm version of Telluride. The 8th edition of the Wassaic Project Film Festival will take off at the tail end of the month and the curators have landed Todd Haynes’ masterwork Safe and a foursome of worthy items (not including a special in-progress feature film screening) for the ’15 edition.
Sundance preemed items in Marielle Heller’s The Diary of a Teenage Girl and Lyric R. Cabral and David Felix Sutcliffe’s (T)error will be shown alongside SXSW/Cannes profiled Krisha from Trey Edward Shults and Sam Cullman’s Tribeca showcased Art and Craft. The fest runs from July 31st until August 2nd in Wassaic, New York. Pitch up a tent and go watch these features – as well as shorts selected by the Wassaic Project and Jason Sondhi of Vimeo Staff Picks and Short of the Week.

From racism ("American History X") to abortion ("Lake Of Fire") to post-Katrina New Orleans (the legally ensnared "Black Water Transit"), Tony Kaye has never shied away from tough subject matter. But his latest film finds him stepping into the most dangerous territory he's navigated yet: the classroom.
Rounding up an impressive ensemble including Adrien Brody, Christina Hendricks, Bryan Cranston, James Caan, Marcia Gay Harden, Tim Blake Nelson, Blythe Danner and Lucy Liu, the film centers on substitute teacher Henry Barthe, whose latest experiences at a tough public school, begin to change his cynical view of the school system. Filmed documentary style, with flourishes and stylization from behind the camera, as various clips from the film have indicated, "Detachment" aims for a raw nerved exploration of the educational apparatus.
Budding filmmaker Armen Antranikian (check out his site here) sat down to chat with Kaye in December, and provided The Playlist with exclusive video from the conversation.
