Description

NYC PREMIERE Late in life, two strangers – Bronx-born photographer Joel Meyerowitz and British artist/writer Maggie Barrett – meet and fall in love. Growing old is not for the faint of heart, and Joel and Maggie must face the specter of the end of life. At the same time, they are working to stay together and learn the hard lessons from previous relationship failures. First-time documentary feature filmmakers Manon Ouimet and Jacob Perlmutter, themselves creative partners and photographers, deliver a profound and deeply felt exploration of life’s biggest questions. – Jaie Laplante

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Manon Ouimet, and director Jacob Perlmutter.
