Directed by Mora Stephens
Mora Stephens' Conventioneers details the relationship between two people on the opposite ends of the political spectrum. Taking place during the course of the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City, a republican man meets back up with a Liberal woman he knew in college. The two begin to fall in love, even though they each have trouble reconciling this new personal passion with their political passion. The tension each feels is exacerbated when a friend of the young woman reveals that he is going to be in apposition to disrupt the President's speech at the convention. The film was shot on location during the actual 2004 Republican Convention, leading to the arrest of some of the filmmakers when they ended up capturing some of their footage without permission. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

"I happen to be a voter for the annual IFP Independent Spirit Awards and first saw this film as a candidate for the 2006 John Cassavettes Award, honoring the best film made for under $500,000. Though I certainly did not vote for it (though the other nominees were not that much stronger), CONVENTIONEERS walked away with the award, much to my chagrin. To this day, I maintain that its victory was not based on merit, but instead on politics and therein lies my problems with the film.Ma " [More]
