WHAT ABOUT ME + ALL DOGS
Presented by AIRTIME
ALL DOGS by Anna Pollack. 2023. 14 min.
*world premiere, filmmaker in person.
Skating by working odd jobs, he subverts the stress of everyday survival with love for music and an optimistic yet naïve patience for the mundane. After breaking a borrowed speaker, the task of trying to replace it draws his moral compass in an unexpected direction.
WHAT ABOUT ME by Rachel Amodeo. 1993. 86 min.
Rachel Amodeo wrote, produced, directed, and stars in this grimily poetic time capsule of life on the margins of a pregentrification East Village. She plays Lisa, a young woman on a downward slide who finds herself suddenly homeless on the streets of downtown New York, where she encounters an array of fellow outcasts played by counterculture mainstays like Richard Hell, Nick Zedd, Richard Edson, Johnny Thunders, and Dee Dee Ramone. Shot in evocatively lo-fi 16 mm black and white, this unsung independent gem finds unexpected grace in the grit of Lower Manhattan’s urban bohemia
