New York ShortsUP to start next weekend

Newsroom 17/04/2014 | 14:33

New York ShortsUP presents a selection of award-winning short films about the most cosmopolitan metropolis in the world, NYC. The film selection features recent American productions and European works that evoke the life of the iconic city.

Some of the films presented are:

The Worst, starring  Britt Lower (“Unforgettable”) and Dean Winters (“Oz”, “30 Rock”), writer & director  Larry Cohen,  producer  Timothy Whitney

Synopsis: Ryan had a bad night. Her phone is dead. And in a moment of indecision, she just left everything on the F train. Desperate, she turns to Nick, an off-duty MTA worker of suspect morals. The two strangers enter into a contentious deal to chase down the subway, before it vanishes with Ryan’s luggage and her chances of getting home.

Reporting on the Times: The New York Times and the Holocaust, Emily Harrold, Director/Producer/Editor

Synopsis: Reporting on The Times is a short documentary film inspired
 by Laurel Leff’s award-winning book Buried by The Times.  The film
 explores how The New York Times handled reports of The
 Holocaust during World War II.  It also investigates why The Times, a 
Jewish owned newspaper, buried more than one thousand articles 
in its back pages.  Was it simply an oversight?  Or did the publishers
 and editors fear an American anti-Semitic backlash?  Through interviews and testimony of a Holocaust survivor, historians, and New York Times journalists, Reporting on The Times encourages audiences to re-evaluate America’s place as ‘The Great Liberator.’  The film also asks viewers to consider the power of the press in creating change.

The event will take place on April 26-27, at CinemaPro, from 21.00. The ticket costs RON 25. Also, on this event the film lovers can win a ticket to the famous metropolis, if they participate to the raffle. More information is available here.
