Young Friends of Film Special Event
American Teen
Thursday, July 17, at 6:30 pm

Nanette Burnstein’s touching, at times hilarious documentary captures the insecurities, jealousies, loves and heartbreaks that accompany five teenagers through their last year of high school. Winner of the Documentary Directing Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Q&A after the screening with the director and the producer of the film.

American Teen
Nanette Burstein, US, 2008, 95m
A prize-winning hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, American Teen follows the lives of five teenagers—a jock, a popular girl, a heartthrob, an artsy girl and a geek—in one small town in Indiana through their senior year of high school. Filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes, The Kid Stays in the Picture) creates a touching, at times hilarious documentary that captures the insecurities, jealousies, loves and heartbreaks that accompany these young people’s search for adulthood.
