Followed by Q&A with Sean Price Williams and Nick Pinkerton

We’re delighted to welcome Sean Price Williams “the cinematographer for many of the best and most significant independent films of the past decade” for a screening of his directorial debut The Sweet East, 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.
