$Chetzemoka's Curse, Dogme #10, screening at Film Noir Cinema - w\/ Q&A$

The story of a woman who lives in a hotel, and a forbidden love affair. A movie made by the rules of a revolutionary film movement.
About this Event

The 10th film made according to the rules of the revolutionary Dogme 95 film movement.

Film created by Rick Schmidt (author of Feature Filmmaking At Used Car Prices) and a team of filmmakers.

(similar to what Godard did at 2018 Cannes fest) Filmmaker Rick Schmidt will participate in a post-screening Q&A using NYC indie filmmaker Sujewa Ekanayake's cell phone - w/ Ekanayake moderating the discussion. A fun way to do a Q&A session perhaps.

About the movie - A young woman, Marie, in her early twenties (played by Maya Berthoud), relives her past while wiling away her time as a maid in a small town hotel. She tells a true story of how she betrayed her first love, and then proceeds to convince a middle-aged man Steve (played by Stephen W. Gillard) to desert his wife and kids and take her on a fling to Thailand. Stephen's real-life wife Sue and daughter Jessica add their real-life stories, about early pregnancy and first love respectively. Even an itinerant street musician (Robert Rutledge) sings about love, telling his true tale of falling in love with his best friend. His ultimate mistake, he explains; seducing her sister. In the end the message is clear. Above all, avoid betraying yourself.
