    36 - Time Bomb Y2K with Brian Becker & Marley McDonald

    36 - Time Bomb Y2K with Brian Becker & Marley McDonald

    Documentary filmmakers Brian Becker and Marley McDonald visit Screen Slate HQ to talk about Time Bomb Y2K, their fantastic new movie that deftly employs all archival footage to offer a panoramic view of turn-of-the-millennium digital hysteria. On the episode we share Y2K memories, dig into archival research, discuss the wider cultural context that precipitated the moment, and the films featured in the accompanying documentary series Cyber Spaces & Millennial Traces.

    Time Bomb Y2K opens for a weeklong run December 15 at DCTV then airs on HBO December 30 before landing on Max. Screen Slate founder/pod host Jon Dieringer hosts a Q&A with the filmmakers Saturday, December 16 at 8pm.

    This episode is sponsored by Film at Lincoln Center and the retrospective Desire/Expectations: The Films of Edward Yang, running December 22-January 4.

    33 - My Animal director Jacqueline Castel

    Filmmaker Jacqueline Castel joins us to talk about her feature debut My Animal, which unites Amandla Stenberg and Bobbi Salvör Menuez in a haunting, queer werewolf story set in a small town in Northern Ontario. A veteran music video director best known for her many collaborations with Sacred Bones artists like Zola Jesus and Pharmakon along with musician-directors such as Jim Jarmusch and John Carpenter, Castel speaks about the elements that aligned to make her first film. We get into casting, getting hooked up with screenwriter Jae Matthews of Boy Harsher, scouting the perfect eerie town,  shooting the breathtaking moon photography, and the unexpected fitness documentary that influenced the film.

    32 - Passages with Ira Sachs

    Ira Sachs visits the pod to talk about his new film Passages, in which the marriage of a gay couple (Franz Rogowski & Ben Whishaw) is thrown into disarray when one of them begins a passionate affair with a woman (Adèle Exarchopoulos). The stylish, sexy drama is one of the hottest films of the summer, not least for its expert direction and impeccable cast. Sachs talks to Screen Slate’s Jon Dieringer about mentorship, his strategy of not rehearsing with actors, the influential films on his cinematic “cheat sheet,” censorship, and filming heated love scenes.

    31 - Yeast with Mary Bronstein

    31 - Yeast with Mary Bronstein

    Mary Bronstein visits Screen Slate HQ to talk about Yeast, her bracingly funny, often excruciating, and authentic 2008 portrait of toxic female friendship, which has had a recent string of sold-out repertory screenings in Los Angeles, New York, and London. On this episode we discuss how the cast and crew came together, channeling anger into creativity, and how the film is in many ways a response to the insular, male-centric mumblecore scene of the late 2000s and early 2010s. We also hear some exciting info about Mary’s second feature, due to shoot later this year.

    Yeast is streaming for free on Le Cinema Club (www.lecinemaclub.com), co-presented by Mezzanine, June 9-15. For a full-length bonus episode with Mary that gets deeper into the late 2000s indie film scene, Kim’s Video, and our favorite late-period Clint Eastwood movies, visit patreon.com/screenslate.

Come for the topic, stay for the digressions

This podcast is sort of like going to the Criterion closet, but going the wrong way on the staircase, and ending up in the basement where there's a bunch of unlabelled VHS tapes and Super 8.
