Film screening: Dreaming Walls

Date

Place

Garage Auditorium

DESCRIPTION

A nostalgic drama about the inhabitants of the legendary Chelsea Hotel, which is on the verge of closure.

The Chelsea Hotel is the heart of underground New York. The list of its residents and guests forms a history of American culture of the 1960s and 1970s. Bob Dylan and Patti Smith lived here. Leonard Cohen met Janis Joplin here and wrote the song «Chelsea Hotel #2.» Andy Warhol filmed the Factory superstars here for Chelsea Girls. But that is all in the past. Developers are planning to transform this down-at-heel legend into yet another Manhattan boutique hotel.

The characters in the film, which is produced by New Yorker Martin Scorsese, are the last inhabitants of the Chelsea Hotel: old New York bohemians, eccentric pensioners from the creative professions. Scaffolding is already up in the corridors and laborers are rushing around, but they refuse to believe that soon these walls will become something different. Observation of these people and immersion in their recollections results in an ephemeral film about a bygone era.

The film will be screened in English with Russian subtitles.
