Gen Art Film Festival

If Cinema is your thang, get ready for some big time events headed your way. The 16^th Annual Gen Art film festival is just around the corner running from June 8^th-14^th in NYC. I will be at Bonnaroo for most of the events this year, but the 7 premiers and 7 parties sound like a blast. If you’re around the area, get the official details here and buy your tickets here available in full festival, or individual premiere packages.

This year, the festival is honoring up and comers in film making and acting including: Lake Bell, Zoe Kravitz (yea, that’s lenny’s kid), and Gabourdey Sidibe (you know you’ve seen Precious) along side the names we all know like: Greg Kineear, Jennifer Connelly, Pierce Brosnan, and Marisa Tomei. The whole idea is to herald in the next generation to be big stars, and showcase emerging talents. There are seven nights of fun in store. Check out the feature films for each below:

• Opening night: A Beginner’s Guide to Endings
• Night 2: Yelling to the Sky
• Night 3: Norman
• Night 4: Goold’s Gold
• Night 5: The Pill
• Night 6: American Animal
• Closing Night: Salvation Boulevard

Passes and tickets include a 1 hour cocktail reception, the viewing of a short and a premiere, AND access to the official after party at a one of NY’s hotspots. Cocktails are included, and proceeds from tickets benefit the Gen Art Foundation. As a bonus (a major one if you as a magazine addict like me), you get a 1-year New York Magazine subscription gratis with all purchases made online. What are you waiting for? Tix tend to sell out fast! Get yours while they’re still available.
