‘Pavements’ and ‘Nightbitch’ to Light Up SXSW Sydney Film Selection – Global Bulletin

‘Pavements’ and ‘Nightbitch’ will light up SXSW Sydney; Universal Music lights on the Greater Bay Area, and Kurosawa Akira Award winners are named.

“Pavements,” which premiered in Venice, is an experimental hybrid of narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, and metatextual elements from director Alex Ross Perry about the indie rock outfit, Pavement.“Nightbitch,” which debuted in Toronto, is a darkly comedic fairy tale about a stay-at-home mother, portrayed by Amy Adams, who transforms into a dog. The award committee commended him for his “ability to observe people and to expand small worlds [is] exceptional, and his gaze on human beings is reflected in the end of a film and the distance of his camerawork.” The festival said that actor-director Saitoh Takumi, and students Sasaki Wakuto, Nawai Rin and Kawano Hana will constitute the jury for the second edition of its Ethical Film Award.
