DI48: THE FLORIDA PROJECT

18:00 = CINEMA CAFE OPENS (This screening is the final part of our Sean Baker retrospective in conjunction with the Dive-In 48 Festival)
19.00 = "THE FLORIDA PROJECT," directed by Sean Baker, 2017, 111 minutes

“…It is a film of small notes that combine to form something major, the kind of movie that sneaks up on you and sticks with you. It is an all-too-common story of a single mother and her daughter on the edge of the social ladder, but it is told in a way that embraces its details instead of trying to achieve some sort of universal statement. Co-writer/director Sean Baker very carefully conveys the specific truths of his characters’ daily lives and it’s that honesty that makes “The Florida Project” so powerful. This is a remarkable film, one of the best of the year.” – Roger Ebert
