Meg Remy, who performs as U.S. Girls, has tied a bow on the past five years of her life with the release of Lives, a surprise concert album she just released. The record, available on major streaming services, features music she performed with three different iterations of the U.S. Girls live band.
She included recordings of songs by what she calls “the Poem Band” version of U.S. Girls, which focused on “outsider jazz-funk,” as well as the “Heavy Light Band,” which focused on female vocal harmonies. The newest version,...

When we first meet Anne (Deragh Campbell), she’s in two places at once. Gently cupping a butterfly in her hands, she ushers it onto a young girl’s shoulder as other children look on, mesmerized by her ability to capture the elusive creature. Without warning, the camera cuts from a moment of calm to one of exhilaration — Anne is preparing to jump out of a moving plane for her best friend’s bachelorette party. The two scenes are interwoven to the point where we don’t know where one ends and one begins, like someone trying to piece together formless fragments of distant memories.
It’s a manic introduction to “Anne at 13,000 Ft.,” Canadian director Kazik Radwanski’s portrait of an unsteady woman struggling to navigate her everyday life, and it sets us up for 75 minutes of fits and starts as we are jerked from one episode to the next.

A riveting and radical act of empathy, with actress Deragh Campbell’s unforgettably embodied portrayal of mental instability as the eye of its storm, Canadian director Kazik Radwanski’s astonishing third feature (after “How Heavy This Hammer” and “Tower”) is a brief, bracing burst of microbudget indie filmmaking at its most powerful. “Anne at 13,000 ft” might look like mumblecore, but it plays as a psychological horror and a ticking-clock thriller that morphs into a wild, windswept tangle of incipient, but never quite arriving tragedy.
Anne (Campbell) has an unspecified anxiety disorder. It’s dormant but with her in the deceptively calm prologue as she cradles a butterfly in her hands and shows it to the kids in her charge at the daycare center where she works. It is with her when she goes on awkward Tinder dates and stutters through a sincere, raggedly emotional speech at the wedding of her best friend and co-worker Sarah.

"You feel the lift off the ground... And you feel the plane climbing into the sky..." The Cinema Guild has just unveiled an official Us trailer for the acclaimed indie film Anne at 13,000 Ft, which first premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last fall and most recently stopped by the Berlin Film Festival this year. The excellent, taut 75-minute Canadian feature stars up-and-coming actress Deragh Campbell as Anne, a volatile young woman increasingly frustrated by everyday social and professional encounters. Her life is changed when she goes skydiving for a bachelorette party. I recently saw this film at Berlinale and loved it - one of my favorites of the fest. I wrote that it's "a shot of adrenaline of cinema if you embrace the jump with her." One of the best indie discoveries out of Tiff last year. The film also stars Lawrene Denkers, Matt Johnson, and Dorothea Paas. I highly,...
