WED 30 SEPT: WENDIGO unspools at the Woodstock Film Festival


watch the original trailer, newly restored


Glass Eye Pix kicks off its 35th year anniversary celebration
with a DRIVE-IN screening of Fessenden’s 2001 film WENDIGO
at the Woodstock Film Festival
Q&A with Fessenden and Annie Nocenti before the show

WENDIGO
stars Patricia Clarkson, Jake Webber,
Eric Per Sullivan and John Speredakos. 

“…creates tension and fear out of thin air…”
-Roger Ebert CHICAGO SUN TIMES
“Fessenden approaches the themes and thrills of the classic American horror movies
through a determinedly modern approach, as if John Cassavetes had been working for
Universal in the early 30’s.”
– NEW YORK TIMES
“A lean, brainy horror fable … blurs the distinction between reality and myth,
spiraling us into a harrowing deluge of panic and fright.”
– VARIETY

GEP pal Will Bates talks with Film Music Mag

Before “Away,” you took a far more nightmarish space trip with “Nightflyers.” Could you talk about your eerie work for the show?

That was also a Mike Cahill project (he directed the pilot). We talked a lot about finding a sound that could express fear but also give a sense of movement, rotation and a feeling of distance. I met a guy in Michigan who builds these extraordinarily complex hurdy gurdys, and he built me one which ended up being very prominently featured in that show that was manipulated beyond recognition! But it has that haunting feeling of oscillation we were looking for. That score was really interesting for me. It has this sci-fi horror element of course but also this feeling of loss and tragedy. That’s something I learned from working with horror maestro Larry Fessenden on “Depraved”; horror as tragedy.

SEPT 11 — mark the day and its aftermath with Ilya Chaiken’s LIBERTY KID

September 11, 2020… we invite you to watch a Glass Eye favorite, LIBERTY KID.
Directed by Ilya Chaiken. Starring Al Thompson and Kareem Savinon.
Produced by GEP pals Mike Ryan, Roger Kass and Brent Kunkle.

“Liberty Kid elevates that woeful genre, the 9/11 movie,
by keeping a ‘Wire’-worthy ear to the street talk of south Williamsburg
and maintaining a shrewd balance of the personal and the political…
an uncommonly acute, deftly played drama of the New York working class.”

“Chaiken makes us feel for her characters… “Liberty Kid” is a poignant
look at what might be called 9/11′s collateral damage.”

Now streaming on Tubi
