Northside Festival, Brooklyn’s answer to SXSW, isn’t just music. There will also be over fifty films shown around Williamsburg and Greenpoint, including multiple world premiers starting today! If you want to see movies about couch surfing (Wisdom Teeth), a Christian transgender teen living in the rural South (Radical Love), the theories of Ray Kurzweil told through cinematic tweets in a satirical sci-fi pop musical (#PostModem), the sociological evolution of pet-owning (FUREVER), a boy who breaks into slaughterhouses to rescue chickens (Skin and Bones), the story of an aging puppet seeking its lost love (Unstrung), the enigmatic life of plants and the people who love them (Other Voices), a superhero who, after vanquishing his nemesis, finds himself directionless after the action is over (Epilogue), then Northside Film Festival is for you.
