Cult documentary GREY GARDENS (1975) — 50th anniversary screening (w/ Documentary Now! pre-show @ 3 pm)
February 15 : 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
“Albert and David Maysles’ cult documentary evokes horror, humour, disgust and pathos, often all in the same moment.” –Cinevue
Meet Big and Little Edie Beale: mother and daughter, high-society dropouts, and reclusive cousins of Jackie Onassis. The two manage to thrive together amid the decay and disorder of their East Hampton, New York, mansion, making for an eerily ramshackle echo of the American Camelot. An impossibly intimate portrait, this 1976 documentary by Albert and David Maysles, codirected by Ellen Hovde and Muffie Meyer, quickly became a cult classic and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen.
Come out early for a pre-show featuring Documentary Now’s brilliant and loving parody of Grey Gardens!
