Paranoid Park Series: The 45th New York Film Festival [Sep 28 - Oct 14 2007] Director: Gus Van Sant, Country: USA, Release: 2007, Runtime: 85 At once a dreamlike portrait of teen alienation and a boldly experimental work of film narrative, Paranoid Park finds Gus Van Sant at the height of his powers. A withdrawn high-school skateboarder (Gabe Nevins) struggles to make sense of his involvement in an accidental death: He recalls past events across tides of memory, and expresses his feelings in a diary that is, in fact, the movie we are watching. The extraordinary skating scenes, filmed by cinematographers Christopher Doyle and Rain Kathy Li in a lyrical mixture of Super 8 and 35mm, depict their subjects soaring in space, momentarily free of the earthly troubles of adolescence. An IFC First Take release. Preceded by No Part of the Pig Is Wasted: Six backwoods construction workers buy a piglet and fantasize about the day they can eat him…but it’s easier said than done. Emma Perret, France, 2006, 19 min.
