‘Special Screening: Fort Buchanan – Benjamin Crotty’

Structured over the four seasons - a tribute to 'Contes des Quatres Saisons' cyclus by Éric Rohmer- the film follows Roger (Andy Gillet star of Eric Rohmer’s last film) who is struggling to cope in the fictional US Army base of the title in the Alsace region of France. His husband Frank is stationed in Djibouti leaving him caught between the demands of their wayward adolescent daughter Roxy and the advances of the promiscuous wives also stationed at the base (played with abandon by Pauline Jacquard, Mati Diop and Judith Lou Lévy).
Benjamin Crotty’s debut feature Fort Buchanan is a virtuoso hybrid, blending queer cinema and American soap operas with the traditions of French arthouse cinema.
