Community Happenings From prdream.com A screening of THE KRUTCH at the Harlemwood Film Festival THE KRUTCH Written and directed by Judith Escalona 16mm/DV, 29 minutes Monday, June 20, 7PM The Museum of the City of New York 1220 Fifth Avenue (between East 103rd and East 104th Streets) "The Krutch" is a surreal narrative about a Puerto Rican psychoanalyst with a long-suppressed identity problem that erupts with some dire consequences. The film is unique in exploring the mental anguish and shame associated with racism. Stylistically akin to Buñuel with an eye towards Godard, it occupies an absurdist space that keeps it from descending into the maudlin cliches of realism. With Jaime Sanchez as the mysterious Dr. Guzman and Cathy Haase as his unsuspecting patient Mrs. Kleist. I will also be participating in a panel of filmmakers that evening. ====================================== Judith Escalona Director PRDREAM.COM 161 East 106th Street (212)828-0401 http://www.prdream.com Empow...
