Event
Chop Shop
In Person: Director Ramen Bahrani
Admission includes reception
Ramin Bahrani, after his auspicious debut (Man Push Cart), sets his story of a 12-year-old Latino boy and his older sister in the no-mans-land that is Willets Point, Queens, a 20-block stretch of junkyards and chop shops (where stolen cars are dismantled for parts), overshadowed by Shea Stadiums giant billboard: Make Dreams Happen. Perhaps it is because Bahrani and co-author Bahareh Azimi are both of Iranian descent that they are able to conjure up an outsiders reality with such palpable compassion and realism. Without a smidgeon of sentimentality, Chop Shop suggests that for many New York City is closer to a third world country than the jewel in the crown of a land of opportunity. USA, 2007, 84 min.
