In this complex portrait of a city and its inhabitants, The Hottest August gives us a window into the collective consciousness of the present, viewed through one city over one month: New York City in August 2017. Director Brett Story poses questions of futurity to a range of ordinary citizens: what does the future look like from where we are standing? And what if we are not all standing in the same place? The Hottest August offers a mirror onto a society on the verge of catastrophe, registering the anxieties, distractions, and survival strategies that preoccupy ordinary lives. Not rated. 94 minutes. Co-Presented with 350 Maine.
