Description

CISCO KID follows Eileen –a young queer dreamer who moves to a desert ghost town in Southern Utah, determined to live an independent and untethered life. Filmed across unfolding seasons, we experience Eileen’s journey as they forge a path among the discarded remnants in the town of Cisco. Surrounded by the artifacts and memories of residents past, Eileen rebuilds ramshackle structures and creates a home of their own, often with a dog as their only company for months on end. Cisco Kid is a portrait of a singular spirit who defiantly walks away from mainstream society and resurrects a place that has been left behind by a changing world. Directed by Emily Allen. Accompanied by: THE CONTROLLED WILD explores human industry, expansion, boundaries, public and private land, wildlife, and wildlife corridors in the West. Directed by Emilie Upczak, Nicholas Emery. Tickets: $11.00 Film tickets available for pick-up at the SteamPlant Box Office beginning Monday, May 8 and up until the start of this screening.
