CROSSWALK

Year2010 Duration19 min. DirectorJeanne Liotta PhotographyJeanne Liotta EditorJeanne Liotta Webhttp://www.jeanneliotta.net/filmpages/crosswalk.html

International premiere
Jeanne Liotta, whose former film Observando el cielo was internationally acclaimed, filmed with her Super 8 camera the rituals of her catholic neighbors living at the Lower East Side in Manhattan during Easter. Crosswalk reveals those images and sounds and becomes a fascinating work of experimental urban Anthropology. This is genuine realism from New York.

Festivals
