Brooklyn in Exile at Treefort, Idaho's Very Own SXSW-in-Waiting

Boise's entry in the boozy red-state arts oasis sweepstakes featured Xenia Rubinos, Psychic Twin and genre-bending film straight from the Spectacle.

Kat Hunt, the director of What’s Revenge, also recently fled Brooklyn (Bedford-Stuyvesant to be exact) for greener, calmer upstate environs. Her marvelous, delightfully strange featurette, which enjoyed a weeklong run at Williamsburg’s Spectacle Theater last year but has otherwise seen far less festival play than it deserves, was one of the highlights of Filmfort. A hybrid of confessional documentary and speculative fiction that mixes seemingly discordant formal strategies with graceful aplomb, the film played in front of an appreciate hometown audience (Hunt has Boise roots). But like much of the work on display at Filmfort, including recent Slamdancers Dave Builds a Maze and How the Sky Will Melt, it deserves bigger audiences that a converted conference suite in a Boise office building.

Last Dance Before Trumpism: Eastern Oregon, Park City (Virtual) and Rotterdam | Filmmaker Magazine

In retrospect, it seems like it was the last glimmer of something. We were all in Eastern Oregon again, the loose circuit of folks who gather annually for

“Clark’s program was lively and varied as always; he had Sophia Takal’s Always Shine in the house (if not the director herself), and a world premiere screening of Kat Hunt’s delightfully strange, doc/fiction hybrid, What’s Revenge, an hour-long plunge into the alluring director/star’s psyche. It’s the type of movie, made with an economy of means, in which you sense the filmmaker willing to mix wildly discordant aesthetic strategies (long, winding, seemingly improvised scenes blending with remarkably stylish, almost overdesigned passages) to make a work that is personal in the most original of ways. It’s no Buffalo ’66, but it has a similar renegade spirit formally, and marks Hunt as an interesting cinematic memoirist, or a fraudulent one, which in this context is a compliment.”

Vengeance Be Mine

I began to explore my own feelings about revenge and how it can be productive—not to hurt others as payback, but as a tool to hammer at my own rage and feelings of discontent. Revenge, I came to believe, was a process to rectify relationships where I concealed my true self. It was a kind of personal reckoning.

Our producer, Camila de Onís, wrote about vengeance, Brooklyn witches, and her experience working on "What's Revenge" for n+1 as part of the BAMcinématek series, "Vengeance is Hers."

Way to stack em up, girl!

"What's Revenge is a hybrid documentary short about the act of getting revenge. The film follows director Kat Hunt as she helps her friend, Erica, avenge her past heartbreaks — in real life — in Brooklyn, New York."

I'm all for letting go and whatnot, but this fascinates me. Support the Kickstarter campaign here. Visit Kat Hunt's Tumblr here.
