Please note…

This screening has reached its registration capacity.

Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch Black Bear in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media. A special pre-recorded Q&A with writer/director/producer Lawrence Michael Levine, and actors Christopher Abbott, Sarah Gadon and Aubrey Plaza, moderated by Jenelle Riley (Deputy Awards & Features Editor, Variety), is included as part of this virtual screening experience.

At a remote lake house, a filmmaker named Allison (Aubrey Plaza) arrives to play house guest to a troubled couple (Christopher Abbott and Sarah Gadon), who have eschewed their life in the city after inheriting a family retreat. Battling writer’s block, Allison sparks a calculated game of desire and jealousy in pursuit of a new work that blurs the boundaries of autobiography and invention. Black Bear explores the complex nature of relationships, gender dynamics, and the erratic nature of love as it traces the conflict between our lust and our longing for internal harmony.

Black Bear is available from Momentum Pictures in theaters and On Demand on December 4.
