Each year we excitedly head south to the AAFF, the third oldest film festival in North America, to feast on the best in the world of experimental cinema. Then we bring our favorites back Up North for you. Experience 47 animated, small, surreal events that taken together somehow replicate the feeling of being alive in “Symphony No. 42;” explore a 100-year-old boat shop in the LA harbor that evokes a hidden world at sea in the award-winning “Port Noir;” and thrill to an incredible soundtrack as the Vaux’s Swifts “Layover” in Portland, Oregon, on their migratory flight to South America. In Person: AAFF Executive Director Leslie Raymond.

Description

"Clear and No Screws" profiles SendAPackage, a wholesale warehouse founded by ex-prisoner Chris Barrett where all of the items sold meet the 36-page list of rules regulating packages allowed into the New York prison system. From pattern-less boxer shorts to hip hop cassette tapes specially produced for New York State’s 54,000 prisoners, "Clear and No Screws" offers a tender glimpse into life in prison through the circulation of regulated goods.
