LITTLE MEN by Ira Sachs with Q&A with Ira Sachs and lead actor Theo Taplitz
2016, USA, 85m
As a tie-in to the release of Ira Sachs’ Peter Hujar, we’re presenting one of his earlier features, Little Men.
When his grandfather dies, 13-year-old Jake moves with his family from Manhattan back into his father’s old Brooklyn home, where he meets Tony, whose single mother Leonor runs a dress shop downstairs. Soon, Jake’s parents Brian and Kathy ask Leonor to sign another, more expensive lease for the store, which kindles a feud between the adults. With its timely and nuanced story of teenage friendship shaped by questions of displacement, class, and gentrification in Brooklyn, Little Men offers a compassionate look at how adult problems can affect childhood bonds- and delivers another moving New York drama from director Ira Sachs.
This screening is an excellent fit for ELA, History, Film/Media Studies, Ethics, and Social Studies classes.

ANIMATION CLASSIC : ANGEL’S EGG by Mamoru Oshii – with Q&A
1985, Japan, 73m, Japanese with English subtitles
Now recognized as a landmark work of animation, legendary Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii’s film Angel’s Egg is an hypnotic and mesmerizing experimental allegory and perhaps his most personal work. Part sci-fi dystopia, part biblical dreamscape, it remains a landmark of anime.
This screening is an excellent fit for Arts, History, Film/Media Studies, Asian and Social Studies classes.
