Get an early viewing start to the festival with ‘SO PRETTY’ an Official Selection of the Berlin International Film Festival. Reserve your ticket to receive access to the film starting Monday, September 7th at 8pm EST, and then join in for a livestream Q&A on Wednesday, September 9th at 8pm EST with director Jessie Jeffrey Dunn Rovinelli. The film is about a group of trans and genderqueer artists and activists in New York City who attempt to carve out a utopian space for themselves in an increasingly hostile world. As their lives curiously merge with the 1980’s German novel “So Schön” by Ronald M. Schernikau, they must learn to negotiate the boundary between fiction and reality amidst their struggles.

Shot with documentary-like intimacy in both digital and 16mm, this delicate tale of love, literature, and collective struggle is bracingly of the moment yet also somehow already feels like an indispensable time capsule of contemporary queer Brooklyn.
