<---------------------------------------------------------
Essential Cinema, a new monthly Loft series highlighting the most
important, influential and entertaining art films in history, kicks
off in September! Each month we'll spotlight a different essential
art film that will screen once on a Sunday afternoon, and once on the
following Monday evening. At selected Sunday screenings, you'll have
the chance to meet special guests (film scholoars, film discussion
leaders, and filmmakers), who will introduce the films. Best of all,
admission to all Essential Cinema screenings is FREE!
At our first Essential Cinema screening, meet world-renowned
documentary filmmaker ALBERT MAYSLES (Salesman, Gimme Shelter), who
will introduce and discuss his 1975 cult classic GREY GARDENS, co-
directed by David Maysles. Mr. Maysles will introduce the film and
host a Q&A afterwards. The film will also screen on Monday, September
24th at 7:00 p.m. without Mr. Maysles in attendance.
GREY GARDENS, which was recently adapted into a successful Tony Award-
winning Broadway musical, documents the stranger-than-fiction tale of
Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, "Little Edie" - high society
dropouts, reclusive cousins of Jackie O. - living and thriving
together amidst the decay and disorder of their ramshackle East
Hampton mansion.
Full of humor, strangeness and startling poignancy, GREY GARDENS is
an intimate portrait of the unexpected, and an eerie echo of the
Kennedy Camelot. The film's utterly unique subject matter, masterful
direction and enduring appeal have turned it into a cult classic,
even establishing Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen.
Admission: FREE
