The Downtown Festival: Messy by Alexi Wasser + Q&A

Messy is a neurotic sex comedy romp about a promiscuous love addict named Stella who moves to New York after a bad breakup, and her quest to find love and purpose – one disappointing date at a time. A coming of age story about a woman who should have already come of age.

New York Premiere.

Q&A with Alexi Wasser following screening. Moderated by Chloë Sevigny.

THE DOWNTOWN FESTIVAL is a celebration of emerging and established independent artists across film, music, art, and culture in New York City. These artists and their work contribute to the fabric of “downtown” and the festival reflects that special convergence of various disciplines. The Festival showcases up-and-coming talent alongside established icons through dynamic and exciting film screenings, music performances, panel discussions, and special events. Attendees are invited to experience a diverse array of voices and unique perspectives on the forefront of artistic expression. In the spirit of the energy of lower Manhattan, the Festival acts as a melting pot of ideas, inspiration, and collaboration. Roxy Cinema is the host of the Festival’s film screenings (World and New York premieres).
