Opening Night Film, STEP
STEP documents the senior year of a girls’ high-school step dance team against the background of inner-city Baltimore. The film earned high acclaim at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and was acquired by Fox Searchlight Pictures.
Closing Night Film, My Friend Dahmer
Before Jeffrey Dahmer became one of the most notorious serial killers of all time, he was a teenage loner. My Friend Dahmer chronicles the origins of the man, the monster – and the high school senior.
