Jess + Moss

CFF-15 certification
LATE ADDITION / UK PREMIERE
Director: Clay Jeter.
United States, 2011. 83 mins. English
Jess, age 18, and Moss, age 12 are second cousins in the dark-fire tobacco fields of rural Western Kentucky. Without immediate families that they can relate to, and lacking friends their own age, they only have each other. Over the course of a summer they venture on a journey exploring deep secrets and hopes of a future while being confronted with fears of isolation, abandonment and an unknown tomorrow.

Bravura cinematography transforms the meandering tale of everyday boredom into a vivid collage of childhood and nature in Jess + Moss with Sarah Hagan resembling a young Brooke Shields or Paulina Porizkova... one of the lessons of Jess + Moss is that beauty is hard to resist.” DAVID D’ARCY

This art cinema gem...conveys a magical place’s timeless quality” ROBERT KOEHLER, VARIETY
