THE EXPERIENCE
Join us for a special screening of 1998’s High Art—a lesbian drama originally released as NewFest’s Opening Night Film “Queering the Canon.” The film has recently undergone a 4K digital restoration of the 35mm original picture negative and DA-88 tapes by the Academy Film Archive and UCLA Film & Television Archive, in collaboration with the Sundance Institute.
ON SCREEN: High Art
1998. Directed by Lisa Cholodenko. Runtime: 1hr 41min. Rated R.
Idle fascination blooms into intense connection when aspiring magazine editor Syd (Radha Mitchell) discovers her upstairs neighbor is Lucy Berliner (Ally Sheedy), a renowned yet reclusive photographer. As complex emotions and creative forces ignite, Syd lures Lucy out of early retirement when they begin an artistic collaboration. Syd and Lucy fervently fall deeper into each other’s aesthetic aims while manifesting their growing human desires, much to the chagrin of Lucy’s oft-drug-addled German actress girlfriend Greta (Patricia Clarkson).
