Unknown Premiere
Shorts: City Limits
Short Program
| 83 MINUTES
This year our New York Shorts program “gets real” with four world premiere documentaries relatable to anyone who calls this city home.
My Depression: The Up and Down and Up of It is an animated adaptation of the award winning Book, "My Depression, A Picture Book" with the voices of Sigourney Weaver, Steve Buscemi, and Fred Armisen. 70 Hester Street is about the former synagogue/whiskey still/raincoat factory the filmmaker grew up in on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and how he wants to remember it. Told almost entirely through voice mail messages, One Year Lease documents the travails of Brian, Thomas and Casper as they endure a year-long apartment lease with Rita, the cat-loving landlady. Set against the backdrop of the Arab-Israeli conflict and tensions between Jewish and Muslim college students, Of Many tells the story of the relationship between an Orthodox Rabbi and Imam.
