Fri, Nov 7: 10:00am-12:30pm – 8th Grade & up <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n LITTLE MEN by Ira Sachs with Q&A with Ira Sachs and lead actor Theo Taplitz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2016, USA, 85m <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a tie-in to the release of Ira Sachs\u2019 Peter Hujar<\/em>, we\u2019re presenting one of his earlier features, Little Men<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When his grandfather dies, 13-year-old Jake moves with his family from Manhattan back into his father\u2019s old Brooklyn home, where he meets Tony, whose single mother Leonor runs a dress shop downstairs. Soon, Jake\u2019s parents Brian and Kathy ask Leonor to sign another, more expensive lease for the store, which kindles a feud between the adults. With its timely and nuanced story of teenage friendship shaped by questions of displacement, class, and gentrification in Brooklyn, Little Men offers a compassionate look at how adult problems can affect childhood bonds- and delivers another moving New York drama from director Ira Sachs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This screening is an excellent fit for ELA, History, Film\/Media Studies, Ethics, and Social Studies<\/strong> classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
