Other surprise screenings, to be held in non-conventional spaces, will be announced soon.<\/p>\n<p>Sean Baker\u2019s critically-acclaimed follow-up to TANGERINE is a wonderful, realist fable of innocence, happiness and familial love in the impoverished communities living on outskirts of Disney World. Young single-mother Halley (Bria Vinaite), and her six-year-old daughter Moonee (Brooklynn Prince), spend their days in the pastel-coloured world of Orlando\u2019s low-income motels, enjoying life to the fullest under the guard of their loving protector and motel manager Bobby (Willem Dafoe). When the dark cloud of poverty threatens to break up their fairy-tale life, Halley\u2019s solution puts them at further risk with dire consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Baker\u2019s delicate and tender film is enriched by the extraordinary performances from its non-professional cast, emphasizing empathy above all and refusing to let reality chip away at the magical wonder of life. Screenings will be taking place on May 2nd and 3rd at Cinema PRO, in the framework of the American Independent Film Festival, and will be presented by Kent Jones as part of the \u201eAmerican Independent Cinema Curated by Kent Jones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>American Independent Film Festival in Arad<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year marks the inaugural edition of the American Independent Film Festival in Arad, showcasing three days of American independent cinema between April 27th-29th, at Arta Cinema.
