Coming to NYC’s IFC Center this Friday, July 29: THE INTERRUPTERS
The Oscar-nominated Steve James premiered a longer version of this engrossing and inspirational look at violence prevention at this year’s Sundance before taking it to scores of festivals. It’s taken home jury or audience awards at Full Frame, Sheffield, Miami, Philadelphia, Minneapolis/St Paul, and Little Rock. Its IFC Center run will be followed by a one week run at NYC’s Maysles Cinema beginning August 5 (as part of a special Master Class with Steve James), as well as a two week run in Chicago’s Gene Siskel Film Center beginning August 12. After that it expands to more than two dozen additional cities.
My pre-Sundance preview of the film can be found here.
Note: Filmmakers and special guests will be in attendance at select screenings for Q&As.
