Lost Suburbia
17 years after its premiere at the Cinema Arts Centre -
Five Long Island, New York independent filmmakers have come together to produce this labor of love feature anthology based on local haunted legends that have plagued their childhood nightmares. The four short films are based on the hangings at Sweet Hollow Road, the "lady in white" ghost of Mary's grave, the abandoned Kings Park psychiatric facility, and the Native American tale of Lake Ronkonkoma. The fictional films are preceded by documentary segments that explore the legend's origins and feature interviews with experts on the subject such as a paranormal investigator, and the authors of 'Weird NY' and 'Ghosts of Long Island: Stories of the Paranormal' along with historical photos, location footage, and testimonials by locals who have been effected by the legends; supernaturally or otherwise. LOST SUBURBIA is not just for Long Island natives, but a must see for anyone interested in history and the supernatural. (USA, 2007, 101 mins, NR, English | Dir. Pete Bune, Sean King, Paul Natale, Elizabeth Smith, Terrence Smith)
Un-Real
20 years after it was conceived and shot by the Cinema Arts Centre's own employees.
UN-REAL stars Sean King as a horror filmmaker whom after receiving yet another film festival rejection letter, plots to shoot realistic murder scenes for his next movie by actually killing people while taping it with his digital camcorder. But, in an attempt to capture realism, reality is the one thing he loses touch with, and he's left with blood on his hands and murders caught on tape.
