This Week at...

There's a celebration of that crazy little thing called love (actually, they're focusing on relationships) going on at NewFilmmakers this Wednesday, and some of the pickins look ripe. There's the usual shorts program at 7:15pm, but previous to that is a documentary called Single by Jane Scandurra which aims to examine the recent, crazy trend of people who actually aren't married (shocking, no?!). Trailer go!


The second feature of the night, Strange Girls by Rona Mark, is a great (albeit creepy) film from 2007 that tells the story of two twins who are released from a psych ward after a murder and try their hand at attaining a boyfriend. Here's a better description:

Twin sisters, unable and unwilling to talk to anyone but each other, are released from a psychiatric institution after the shocking murder of their psychiatrist. Living on their own proves liberating at first, but when one twin becomes infatuated with a boy, the other twin tries to rein her in… by any means necessary.
