Deborah ‘Debbie’ Harry, lead vocalist of the band Blondie, headlines the cast of the Tribeca-selected short “Catharsis.”
Brian Logvinsky’s directorial debut follows a dancer savant on the brink of self-destruction, confronted by a peculiar psychotherapist who delves into his subconscious. The 17-minute film blends surrealism, performance art and horror, drawing from Logvinsky’s own Soviet-American heritage.
Harrison Ball stars as Alex, a gifted but troubled dancer grieving his mother’s death. He lives with his superstitious aunt Anya, played by Harry, who believes a family curse fuels Alex’s destructive behavior. Anya convinces Alex to visit the unconventional Dr. Leechny (Marc Geller), who, along with his assistants Chakra and Harmony (Jemima Kirke), uses hypnosis to help Alex confront his inner demons. The film culminates in a transformative sequence where Alex, guided by a vision of his deceased mother, finds redemption. As dawn breaks, he dances through New York City,...

Not long ago, an award-winning Polish composer who’d scored dozens of films approached Ula Śniegowska about U.S. in Progress, an industry event conceived as a bridge between the Polish and American markets that runs parallel to the American Film Festival in Wrocław, Poland.
“He approached me saying, ‘I’ve done enough in the Polish market. I need an introduction to the international market. Can you, as U.S. in Progress, help me?’” Śniegowska recalls. “It seems we are a perfect matchmaker for those types of companies to have their work exposed in the U.S.”
Celebrating its 13th edition, U.S. in Progress was launched as a showcase for emerging independent American filmmakers. Each year, the event presents a curated selection of American indie titles in the final stages of production to European sales agents, distributors and festival programmers. This year’s edition takes place Nov. 8 – 10.
