“The purpose is to showcase the local cinema, produced on Long Island, as well as safe interactive activities at a social distance, and provide a night of laughter at North Fork,” he said.
The South Side Film Festival is a component of CAST’s summer crusade in night film series and has earned “the recognition of the Tribeca Film Institute,” Leinweber said. “Sound Side Film Festival is a safe cinematic delight for pandemics celebrating emerging and established independent filmmakers from North Fork and beyond.”
The occasion came through CAST and Wild Jelly Live. The occasion of the drive-in is supported by the Tribeca Film Institute’s Sloan Discretionary Fund.
The Sound Side Film Festival includes the premiere of “Bluepoint”, a new and nominated short film at North Fork, as well as multimedia screenings, and more, organizers said.
Wild Jelly Live is a cooperative film directed by Zoe Fleer and Alley Leinweber. They spent last year at Peconic Bay running along the cooperative extension SPAT Cornell to do “Bluepoint” and write the corresponding TV series, leinweber said.
Since then, the short film has been nominated for a National Review Board award and is scheduled to premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, while the TV pilot’s script won the Tribeca Sloan Student Discovery Award, he said.
“When the pandemic hit and the theaters closed, Alley and Zoe made a first in the position and network where Bluepoint was born,” he added.
The first includes site-specific installations that make the cinema larger beyond a single screen. The public will be invited to make confessions about the pandemic that will count the long term of the TV series offering a documentary reaction to the crisis, Leinweber said.
“Sound Side Film Festival is a one-night stand to revel in North Fork’s independent cinema and good looks at a time when public screenings are interrupted,” he said.
Cathy Demeroto, CAST’s executive director, explained how the concept of creating a series of behind-the-wheel films that would also feed the hungry at North Fork came along.
“Since during the normal summer of CAST occasions were canceled to pluck laughter due to COVID-19, we had to locate artistic tactics to make laughs and help our core operations,” he said. CAST’s ‘Thursdays behind the wheel – Family Movie Nights Under the Stars’ is a safe way for families to come out and laugh as they help our neighbors in these difficult times.
Given the massive accumulation of desires in North Fork due to the current economic and fitness crisis, it is more vital than ever that we raise enough budget to ensure that we will meet the unprecedented need for food aid and emergency assistance,” he said. Says.
All the benefits of the series will get CAST advantages, he added.
“Although networked paintings are slowly reopening, families are still suffering to reach the end of the month as they retire to catch up after being without paints for several months, and lately many employees are underemployed because many companies operate at full capacity.” she told me.
After the Sound Side Film Festival on August 6, CAST will present the film series Drive-In Thursdaydays with “Dirty Dancing” on September 3.

Dedicated to making films and reports that inflame the senses and explore how other people are formed through our environments: natural, artificial, psychological, these two Directors identify by understanding that we will have to shape the worlds in which we need to live,” he said. “More than ever. Sound Side Film Festival is just one of many projects to welcome you to your world.”
