It would appear that Alexandra Moltke Isles was awarded a grant by the New York State Council on the Arts and created a new documentary, The Healing Gardens of New York. It is going to be playing at the Pioneer Theatre located at 155 East 3rd Street, New York, NY 10009 on Tuesday, June 20, 2006 at 7:00 PM. Tickets are available on-line at
Pioneer Theater or by calling (800) 595-4849 for tickets and (212) 591-0434 for other information.
There is supposed to be a reception afterwards at the
6B Garden in the East Side (Manhattan that is) and the theater's web-site mentions this is a meet and greet with the filmmaker. Now it does not specifically say she will be there. It says "Every Tuesday at 7pm features special guests presenting their film, and is followed by a beer and pizza reception for ticket holders. Except for this one - no beer at the beautiful 6B garden where we'll host our reception." Thus, she may not really be there. It could be other people would be there.
Once again, New Yorkers are lucky ducks. It's supposed to be on PBS this summer. But, I have a feeling only New York is going to get it. I have not been able to unearth any 411 on that yet.
If any New Yorker can get it, please record for me!!!!
