The 2019 Chicago Underground Film Festival announces Lineup of Films for 26th edition of the fest (June 5-9)

Adam Khalil and Bayley Sweitzer’s EMPTY METAL is the Opening Night selection, and Nicole Brending’s DOLLHOUSE: THE ERADICATION OF FEMALE SUBJECTIVITY FROM AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE is the Closing Night selection

Chicago, IL (May 22, 2019) – The Chicago Underground Film Festival, today announced the lineup for its 26th edition, taking place on June 5-9. Known for featuring an international slate of innovative, exciting and provocative films and videos, CUFF bookends this year’s film festival with two films that epitomize those three words. Adam Khalil and Bayley Sweitzer’s EMPTY METAL will screen as the Opening Night selection on Wednesday, June 5, and Nicole Brending’s DOLLHOUSE: THE ERADICATION OF FEMALE SUBJECTIVITY FROM AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE is the Closing Night selection, screening on June 9 – both at Logan Theater (2646 N. Milwaukee Ave.)
In addition to the 12 features on its slate, CUFF will also screen 12 thematic shorts programs and additional programming featuring 104 films. Underlining the film festival’s draw as a place where new work and talent make their debut, as well as introducing Chicago and Midwestern audiences to new and exciting voices in cinema, this year’s slate includes 10 world premieres, 1 international premiere, 1 North American premieres, 9 U.S. premieres, and 34 Midwest premieres.

Artistic Director Bryan Wendorf, “This year’s exciting group of films came to us through our ever-growing number of submissions and films that truly struck us at other festivals. It is as diverse a slate as we have ever had, with films that will entertain in the purest sense, but also challenge and surprise our audiences whether it be through the stories told or the documentary subjects that are being focused on. As always, we want to introduce everyone to films and filmmakers that gave us a thrill when we first saw their films, and inspired us to re-think what we just saw and perhaps debate about it with our friends.”

Khalil and Sweitzer’s EMPTY METAL will make its Midwest premiere as the Opening Night selection on Wednesday, June 5. In the film, a punk band is ensnared in a murder plot by an indigenous family whose mother communicates telepathically with her meditation companions, a
Rastafarian hacker and a Buddhist whose son is a member of a secret militia. While this motley crew goes about their business, the drones fly overhead, seeing all. EMPTY METAL previously screened at Lincoln Center’s Art of the Real festival, and the screening at CUFF will mark a return to the film festival by Khalil, whose film INAATE/SE/ (which he co-directed with his brother Zack Khalil) won a jury award in 2017.

Closing Night will feature Nicole Brending’s puppet animation satire DOLLHOUSE: THE ERADICATION OF FEMALE SUBJECTIVITY FROM AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE. The disturbingly entertaining feature film directorial debut of Brending recently won both Best Feature and The Spirit of Slamdance awards at the 2019 Slamdance Film Festival. DOLLHOUSE charts the rise and fall of fictional child pop star Junie Spoons as her life story (and the ensuing disasters) unfold, as told by those who knew her. From losing her virginity in a sex tape to 24-hour
marriages to a Patty-Hearst style kidnapping and bank heist to the murder of her mother, the film reveals the hypocrisies of an opportunistic society that preys on the talents and contributions of women, the film is a scathing look at what it means to be female in a modern world. Assaulted by men, women, the media, and a new era obsessed with identity and entitlement, Junie's fall from grace is a cautionary tale about the consequences of denying women their own voice and perspective.

Two notable premieres among the feature films include the North American premiere of Ian Haig’s THE FOAMING NODE, which tells the story of the last remaining observers who were members of a cult of sorts who followed the transmissions and evacuations of the mysterious Foaming Node, whose main project and mission was the distribution of the human body. The U.S. premiere of Marco Porsia’s documentary WHERE DOES A BODY END? focuses on the Swans, from their roots as a post-punk band through their ill-fated bid at mainstream in the 90s indie-rock goldrush, through breakups and chaos to their current status as one of the most accomplished bands in the world.

A number of feature films will be making their Midwest premieres at CUFF. Those films include; Adam Sekuler’s immersive verité 36 HOURS, about a woman’s pregnancy and birthing experience; Emmanuelle Antille’s music documentary A BRIGHT LIGHT – KAREN AND THE PROCESS, which focuses on the 60s enigma that was Karen Dalton; Aaron Schimberg’s CHAINED FOR LIFE, which stars Jess Weixler (TEETH) as an actress who struggles to connect with her disfigured co-star on a film shoot; Kavich Neang’s documentary LAST NIGHT I SAW YOU SMILING, which takes a look at Phnom Penh’s iconic housing block, the “White Building” and the history it has weathered prior to being demolished; Lonnie Martin’s THE LAST OF THE MANSON GIRLS, which follows a counterculture journalist as he investigates Manson followers Sandra Good, Brenda McCann, and Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme; and Peter Parlow’s THE PLAGIARISTS, about a young couple dealing with emotional fallout from a seemingly fraudulent yet unprovable act done to them. Stuart Swezey’s documentary DESOLATION CENTER, about the punk rock desert concerts and “happenings” during the Reagan-era, will make its Chicago debut.

Included in the impressive slate of shorts screening this year in the thematic shorts programs as well as accompanying features at CUFF are several short films making their world premieres. Those films include; Patrick Müller’s ACTUALLY, THIS IS NOT A FILM; Darrin Martin and Torsten Zenas Burns’ ARK 3: CROSSOVERCHRONICLES; Giuliana Foulkes’ BLACK BOX; Lina Sieckmann, Miriam Gossing, and Nicole Wegner’s CHINA LIGHT; Jake Hart’s COREDEMPTRIX; Robert C. Banks Jr., and John W. Carlson’s DON’T BE STILL; Kate Kapuza’s HUNKS; Ellery Chalmers’ JAMES L THOMPSON CENTER; Monica Panzarino’s MEMORY; and K$K’s WALKED IN.

FEATURE FILMS



Opening Night Selection
EMPTY METAL Midwest Premiere
Directors: Adam Khalil, Bayley Sweitzer
Country: USA, Running Time: 85 min
A punk band is ensnared in a murder plot by an indigenous family whose mother communicates telepathically with her meditation companions, a Rastafarian hacker and a Buddhist whose son is a member of a secret militia.

Director: Nicole Brending
Country: USA, Running Time: 91 min
The disturbingly entertaining feature debut of director Nicole Brending, DOLLHOUSE: THE ERADICATION OF FEMALE SUBJECTIVITY FROM AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE charts the rise and fall of fictional child pop star Junie Spoons as her life story (and the ensuing disasters) unfold, as told by those who knew her. Set in the bubble gum pop world of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan and told in the style of VH1's Behind The Music, Junie's story tops itself one scandal after another as she rockets to international stardom and then faces the aftermath of life under scrutiny.

36 HOURS Midwest Premiere
Director: Adam Sekuler
Country: USA, Running Time: 77 min
Angelle is in labor. She rides the waves of emotion and physical pain without pharmaceutical intervention as she, along with her partner Nathan and her mother, try to follow a natural birth plan. As her contractions get heavier, though, Angelle gets caught in the undertow of time. Her birth is taking much longer than expected. With her preconceived notions of birth shattered, Angelle must make difficult decisions, bringing into focus the true work of motherhood and womanhood. Weaving together immersive verité filmmaking and expressionistically captured movement sequences is a tour de feminine force.

A BRIGHT LIGHT – KAREN AND THE PROCESS Midwest Premiere
Director: Emmanuelle Antille
Country: Switzerland, Running Time: 94 min
A music documentary, a cinematographic essay that travels across the United States in Karen Dalton's footsteps. In search of one of the 1960's most astonishing voices, worshiped by her peers, but unknown to the general public, the film also questions the process of creation, its frantic and mesmerizing paths.

CHAINED FOR LIFE Midwest Premiere
Director: Aaron Schimberg
Country: USA, Running Time: 91 min
A beautiful actress struggles to connect with her disfigured co-star on the set of a European auteur's English-language debut.

The untold story of a series of Reagan-era anarchic punk rock desert happenings that still reverberate throughout our culture, DESOLATION CENTER transported punk and industrial music fans in rented school buses into the far reaches of the Mojave Desert for now-legendary performances. DESOLATION CENTER is a feature documentary about these guerilla music and performance events staged in remote and unusual locations. Directed by the principal organizer of the events, Stuart Swezey, DESOLATION CENTER is the true story of how the risky, and at times even reckless, actions of a few outsiders can unintentionally lead to seismic cultural shifts.

THE FOAMING NODE North American Premiere
Director: Ian Haig
Country: USA, Running Time: 65 min
THE FOAMING NODE tells the story of the last remaining observers who were members of a cult of sorts who followed the transmissions and evacuations of the mysterious Foaming Node, whose main project and mission was the distribution of the human body. This is their story.

LAST NIGHT I SAW YOU SMILING Midwest Premiere
Director: Kavich Neang
Countries Cambodia/France, Running Time: 78 min
Since 1963, Phnom Penh's iconic housing block, the “White Building”, witnessed a tremendous set of events: the young nation's “Golden Age”; a traumatic breakdown under a radical regime; decades of cultural revival centered within its walls; and, the rapid pace of capitalist development that would ultimately lead to its demise. Kavich Neang, born here in 1987, is one of hundreds of residents who must leave immediately. He picks up a camera to record. When demolition comes, it’s all a memory.

THE LAST OF THE MANSON GIRLS Midwest Premiere
Director: Lonnie Martin
Country: USA, Running Time: 73 min
Convinced there's more to the Manson murders than meets the public eye, counterculture journalist Paul Krassner embarks on an LSD tinged investigation of the last of Manson's disciples: Sandra Good, Brenda McCann, and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme.

THE PLAGIARISTS Midwest Premiere
Director: Peter Parlow
Country: USA, Running Time: 76 min
THE PLAGIARISTS follows a young novelist and her cinematographer boyfriend, who are caught in a snowstorm on their way to visit a friend in upstate New York. Needing shelter, a man puts them up for the night. However, months later a discovery puts the evening into a different context, bringing resentments to the surface.

THE WASHING SOCIETY Midwest Premiere
Directors: Lynne Sachs, Lizzie Olesker
Country: USA, Running Time: 44 min

WHERE DOES A BODY END? U.S. Premiere
Director: Marco Porsia
Country: USA, Running Time: 121 min
An intimate portrait of the Swans, from their roots as a post-punk band through their ill-fated bid at mainstream in the 90s indie-rock goldrush, through breakups and chaos to their current status as one of the most accomplished bands in the world.
