Independents Night: Phyllis and Harold Thursday, April 17, 2008 at 8:00 pm Cindy Kleine’s parents were married for 60 years. Was it worth it? Kleine will introduce the film. Stay after for a Q&A session as well as a reception with the filmmaker. Presented in association with New York Women in Film and Television. In this frank and funny documentary, New York film and video artist Cindy Kleine takes us on a not-quite sentimental journey with her parents from their courtship in the ‘30s, through World War II and into a new millennium. Mixing reportage and cinema vérité, she uncovers family secrets that can only now be told. Here, Kleine, whose works have been shown in museums and film festivals across the country as well as on public television, mixes the depth and complexity of a Bergman family drama with the humor of an I Love Lucy episode. And as this loving film reveals that there are no ordinary people––that each of us is special in our own way –– Kleine celebrates her parents’ lives as everyday works of art. Phyllis and Harold Cindy Kleine, US, 2008; 85m Independents Night showcases New York premieres of American documentaries every other month at the Walter Reade Theater, making it one of the city’s foremost venues for non-fiction work. With the filmmakers in attendance, this provocative evening of discovery and exploration includes a Q&A and reception following the film. Independents Night is programmed by Marian Masone.
