Film Set in Coney Island at Anthology Film Archives (With Rip Torn)

Coming up tomorrow, Saturday March 14 at 7:15pm
at Anthology Film Archives in the East Village, NYC

 Anthology Film Archives is thrilled to present a special sneak-preview of the new film by Angelica and Tony Torn, a Coney Island-set drama featuring a special appearance by the filmmakers’ father, Rip. A chance encounter with her childhood sweetheart leads Virginia (Angelica Torn) to discover hidden truths about her boyfriend and her neighborhood that she has chosen to ignore.

Over the last explosive weekend of the summer she must decide whether to abandon everything she’s ever known to the wolf-pack of developers buying up and tearing down the Coney Island boardwalk, or to sacrifice herself to the world that’s been created for her. Angelica Torn’s luminescent performance beautifully carries the film, which casts a beguiling spell in the manner of Alan Rudolph’s early work.
