DESCRIPTION:\n	Dir. Brett Story. 2019\, 94 mins. Digital projection. A comp
 lex portrait of a city and its inhabitants\, The Hottest August offers a w
 indow into the collective consciousness of the present. The film’s point o
 f departure is one city over one month\, canvassing the five boroughs of N
 ew York City during August 2017. It’s a month heavy with the tension of a 
 new President\, heightened anxiety over everything from rising rents to ma
 rching white nationalists\, and recurring news reports of wildfires and hu
 rricanes along the coasts. Brett Story (The Prison in Twelve Landscapes)\,
  her camera and crew survey the community\, asking (sometimes explicitly\,
  other times implicitly) what the future looks like from where they are st
 anding\, knowing all along that not everyone stands in the same place. The
  Hottest August offers a mirror onto a society on the verge of catastrophe
 \, registering the anxieties\, distractions\, and survival strategies that
  preoccupy ordinary lives. “This collection of interactions with ordinary 
 people is a cinematic gift both simple and multilayered\, an intellectual 
 challenge and an emotional adventure.”—Glenn Kenny\, The New York Times\,
