hot off the press: Trylon Premiere Tuesday march schedule

Just received the press release for Take-Up's "Trylon Premiere Tuesdays" March lineup.  Like all the previous films in this lineup, I'm unable to speak on any of these films as they're all new to me:

Amer (2009)
Belgium/France
Directed by Hélène Cattet, Bruno Forzani

A brilliant homage to the giallo films of Dario Argento and Mario Bava, Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s Amer swirls with visual bravado and psychosexual ambiance. This French language Belgium production follows young Ana down a dark path of obsessions, fantasies and fears with stylish flair. Amer is an instant cult classic.
Tuesday, March 1, 7:00 and 8:50
Tuesday, March 8, 7:00 and 8:50

Wah Do Dem (2009)
|USA
Directed by Ben Chace, Sam Fleischner

When Max decides to go on a cruise by himself after his girlfriend breaks up with him, he neither gets the experience he hopes or fears. From Brooklyn to Jamaica and back, Wah Do Dem perfectly captures a certain combination of cynicism and optimism that is easy to understand in the scope of Max’s story but also in the aura of 2007 when the film takes place. Starring an inspired indie-music cast of Sean Bones, Norah Jones, Carl Bradshaw and an appearance of the legendary reggae group The Congos.
Tuesday, March 15, 7:00 and 8:40

The Builder (2010)
USA
Directed by R. Alverson

Overcome by an inexplicable fatigue, the Builder (Colm O'Leary) is a man clinging to an improbable hope in an attempt at revitalizing his life. Abandoning his wife, and with borrowed money, he retreats to upstate New York to build an early American Cape Cod style home. O'Leary's understated performance is brilliant, capturing perfectly a man in the throes of an existentialist collapse.
Tuesday, March 22, 7:00 and 9:00
Tuesday, March 29, 7:00 and 9:00

-----------------
Don't worry, folks. I'll remind you all of these screenings closer to showtime.
