A singular voice in American independent cinema, Alexandre Rockwell crafts intimate, offbeat stories brimming with poetic grit and heartfelt absurdity. From the breakout charm of In the Soup to the soulful minimalism of Sweet Thing, his films celebrate misfits, dreamers, and the beautifully broken. With a visual style rooted in 16mm grain and jazz-like improvisation, Rockwell’s work is a testament to the enduring spirit of handmade filmmaking. This season charts his journey through black-and-white bohemia, scrappy urban fables, and raw family portraits — a tribute to cinema on the margins.
