“Have we met before?” Logan Lerman’s Sidney asks the enigmatic new girl across the street in this exclusive first clip from The Vanishing of Sidney Hall.

“In the first grade. You gave me a Valentine’s Day card on the wrong day,” Melody (played by Elle Fanning) explains. “Then on the actual Valentine’s Day, you kissed me. And I told on you. And I would have kissed you back the next day, but we moved.”

The Vanishing of Sidney Hall, from director Shawn Christensen (of the Oscar-winning short, Curfew), is about more than childhood sweethearts, though, as it also deals with a tragic death, a detective (Kyle Chandler) investigating a string of arsons and, of course, the titular vanishing.

Directed by Éric Summer and Éric Warin and written by Carol Noble, Eric Summer and Laurent Zeitoun, Leap! follows 11-year-old orphan Félicie (Elle Fanning), who dreams of becoming a dancer in Paris, and her best friend Victor (Nat Wolff), an imaginative, but exhausting boy with a passion for creating has a dream of his own, to become a famous inventor.

The animated flick also co-stars Maddie Ziegler, Mel Brooks and Carly Rae Jepson.

Naomi Watts plays Ray’s mother Maggie, who accepts his decision but nevertheless worries about her child, and Susan Sarandon plays Ray’s grandmother Dolly, who just doesn’t seem to get it (“Why can’t she just be a lesbian?” she asks). Tate Donovan also stars as Ray’s absentee father, who’s reluctant to sign off on Ray’s medical forms. Watch the About Ray trailer after the jump.

Written by Amy-Jo Albany from her 2003 memoir, director Jeff Preiss’ Low Down chronicles the adolescent years of Amy-Jo (Elle Fanning) in 1970s Los Angeles, spent between living with her jazz pianist/heroin addict father, Joe Albany (John Hawkes), and the only stable person in her life, her grandmother (Glenn Close). Ignoring the prosaic plot and formulaic structure of most biopics, the film recounts her story in a vulnerable and poetic manner. The cast of veteran actors and musicians gives strong, nuanced performances. Filmed on Super 16 millimeter in grainy atmospheric earth tones, the film precisely captures the mid-’70s era it depicts. Like the accompanying music, Preiss’ movie strays from and returns to the topic. Viewers shouldn’t rely on a linear plot, but allow the film’s sights and sounds to feel as improvisational as the music and as raw as Amy-Jo’s memories.

Showing at the UW-Milwaukee Union Theatre, February 20-22.
