Slow Machine
Paranoia and subterfuge (and a little silliness) suffuse Paul Felten and Joe DeNardo's 16mm-shot Slow Machine, which begins with an encounter between a young actress and a decidedly cuckoo NYPD counter-terrorism specialist who has a yen for experimental theater. When their mutual flirtation ends in disaster, the actress flees to the upstate New York estate of real-life indie rocker Eleanor Friedberger, where she's inundated with haunting memories of her past. A noteworthy draw: Chloe Sevigny makes a brief appearance as herself.
