Cindy Sherman's 'Office Killer' Special event at Provincetown International Film Fest

The 2009 Provincetown International Film Festival in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA is screening Cindy Sherman's dark comedic 1997 horror film Office Killer on June 18th at 8PM as a special event. It stars Carol Kane, Molly Ringwald, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Barbara Sukowa.

Office Killer is a victim-turned-avenger tale hinging on a murderous copy editor...

When Dorine Douglas' job at Constant Consumer magazine is turned into an at-home position during a downsizing, she doesn't know how to cope. But after accidentally killing one of her co-workers, she discovers that murder can quench the loneliness of her home life. Spinning into madness at the film's center Kane leads a cast of seasoned professionals, Molly Ringwald and Jeanne Tripplehorn among them in this comic thriller. This dark tale of corporate downsizing is even more relevant today than when it was released in 1997. In her first feature film, American artist Cindy Sherman concocts a peculiarly funny caricature of psycho-thriller and horror genres. The film follows the transformation of the "pathetic" office mouse Dorine into an unruly predator, a femme-fatale-gone-wrong. Having stirred up criminal chaos, Dorine finds much pleasure in fashioning a grisly tableau of her colleagues in a dark basement, upping the stakes in Sherman's trademark portrayal of perversity.
