Old Enough
Starting this September, Low Cinema is proud to partner with animation collective Sunflower Lane for a series of programs highlighting pressing issues in women’s health. Future entries in the series will be forthcoming later in the fall and winter.
Dir. Marisa Silver, 1984, USA, 91 min.
Twelve-year-old Lonnie (Sarah Boyd) lives in the grand style of New York City’s urban haute bourgeoisie: four-story brownstone, live-in maid, and dinners of vichyssoise and pressed duck. Right down the block, streetwise teenager Karen (Rainbow Harvest) lives under the watchful eye of her hard-drinking father (Danny Aiello), the super of their run-down walkup apartment building. A chance encounter leads to a volatile summer friend fling, as Karen convinces the sheltered Lonnie to skip sleepaway camp and introduces her to the seedier side of life in Koch-era Gotham.
Nearly all the action takes place in an East Village that feels so gritty you’ll want to shower afterwards. Other attractions include an early performance by Alyssa Milano and cinematography by the inimitable Michael Ballhaus, who had recently shot R.W. Fassbinder’s Lili Marleen and would go on — shortly after Old Enough — to lens Martin Scorsese’s After Hours.
The feature will be preceded by animator Alice Silver’s short film, “Family Secrets.”
Sunflower Lane is a multigenerational collective of artists and an episodic series that shares personal stories through bold and original animation.
Rachael Guma is an animator and sound artist, as well as the creator of Sunflower Lane. Using stop motion animation, she conveys unconventional narratives infused with humor and lightness.
Alice Cohen is a musician and animator based in Brooklyn. She began her collage practice by making cut-and-paste show flyers for her friends’ bands and later expanded into collage stop motion, making music videos and showing her work in galleries.
Willa Jones is a producer, project manager, and artist living in Ridgewood, Queens. She has produced a range of award-winning series, from animated shorts to investigative documentaries that explore rarely-covered issues affecting communities across the country.
All sales are final and tickets are nonrefundable. Five minutes after the listed showtime, any unused tickets will be considered no-shows and released to standby customers.
