Apart from a work in progress industry screening in Wroclaw during the American Film Fest in 2017, there is very little info on Stephen Gurewitz’s Honkey Kong. A project that proposes renowned cinematographer Sean Price Williams being playful in front of the camera, and that takes place on the other side of the world, Hannah Gross and Alex Ross Perry also star in Gurewitz’s third feature film after Happy Birthday Rita (2010) and Marvin Seth and Stanley (2012).

Tired Moonlight, Dp: Adam GinsbergOne of the few shocks of the otherwise steadfastly low-key Tired Moonlight, a recent inclusion in New York’s New Directors/New Films program, is discovering in the credit roll that Sean Price Williams didn’t shoot it. The film arrives at a point where seemingly every new low-budget indie shot on 16mm and featuring a hitherto unsung directorial newcomer—in this case Montana-born Britni West—is graced by the eye of this particular cinematographer: see The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga, Kuichisan, Young Bodies Heal Quickly, Christmas, Again, and several others, not to mention all the work in this vein he’s done for Alex Ross Perry. Williams is certainly skilled (it’s hard to find a review of a film boasting his work that doesn’t mention his name—a rare feat for a Dp), but as of now only demonstrably proficient in...

Clocking in at just three days, the Northside Film Festival still provides enough breadth in programming to rival an event three times its size. In addition to the centerpiece Diy Competition and short programs, the fest has added an episodics sidebar this year, featuring Doron Max Hagay’s Monica web series, among others. Due to pre-screener availability, the following recommendations are features only, but that scarcely means you shouldn’t keep any eye on the other sections. Northside runs from today through Wednesday at UnionDocs, Nitehawk, Videology and the Wythe Hotel.
