ADDITIONAL LIVE EVENTS
CLOSING NIGHT:
SECOND STAR TO THE RIGHT AND STRAIGHT ON 'TIL MORNING BY BILL & TURNER ROSS + DADLI BY SHABIER KIRCHNER
SUNDAY, APRIL 18 @ 8PM EDT
WATCH: TWITCH.TV/SCREENSLATE
The production of Benh Zeitlin's 2020 film Wendy occasioned two magical, visually spectacular documentaries; a 16mm short by Shabier Kirchner (2nd unit on Wendy), presenting the island of Antigua through its eponymous child subject's eyes, and a feature making-of documentary by Zeitlin pals Bill & Turner Ross. Second Star was deemed too experimental by the studio for its intended use as a DVD extra, and has never screened publicly before now. Together these films paint a vivid, playful portrait of youthful imagination that captures the spirit of the beloved Wendy source material by Robert Louis Stevenson.
