Film at Lincoln Center announces Elegance Bratton\u2019s The Inspection <\/i>as the Closing Night selection of the 60th New York Film Festival, making its U.S. premiere on October 14 at Alice Tully Hall. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Known for his affecting and dynamic documentary Pier Kids<\/i><\/strong>, about homeless queer and transgender youth in New York, and the Viceland<\/i> series My House<\/strong>,<\/i> on underground competitive ballroom dancing, filmmaker and photographer Elegance Bratton has made his ambitious narrative debut with The Inspection<\/i><\/strong>, a knockout drama based on his own experiences as a gay man in Marine Corps basic training following a decade of living on the streets. In a breathtaking first cinematic starring role, Tony\u2013 and Emmy\u2013nominated actor Jeremy Pope is run through an emotional and physical gauntlet as a young man dealing with the intimidation of a sadistic sergeant (Bokeem Woodbine), his desire for a sympathetic superior (Ra\u00fal Castillo), and his complicated feelings toward the mother who rejected him (a revelatory Gabrielle Union). Bratton\u2019s film is a nuanced portrait of American masculinity and evocation of the military during the Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell era, as well as a forceful, electric work of autobiography. An A24 release.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly humbled that my debut feature film will close the New York Film Festival this year,\u201d said Bratton. \u201cSo many of my favorite filmmakers have made an impact as a part of this illustrious program. I\u2019m overwhelmed to be a part of it. And as a New Yorker, this is a dream come true.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFestival galas are often occasions to celebrate filmmakers we know and love, but for this year\u2019s closing night, we wanted to introduce audiences to someone we think will be shaping the art form for years to come,\u201d said Dennis Lim, artistic director, New York Film Festival. \u201cWith The Inspection<\/i>, Elegance Bratton has made an autobiographical movie of rare power and confidence, a debut film for the ages.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The NYFF Main Slate selection committee, chaired by Dennis Lim, also includes Eugene Hernandez, Florence Almozini, K. Austin Collins, and Rachel Rosen.<\/p>\n

As part of its 60th anniversary celebration, the New York Film Festival will offer festival screenings in all five boroughs of New York City in partnership with Alamo Drafthouse Cinema (Staten Island), BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) (Brooklyn), the Bronx Museum of the Arts (Bronx), Maysles Documentary Center (Harlem), and the Museum of the Moving Image (Queens).
