Pop's Art Theater is excited to partner with Frozen River Film Festival for Frozen River Classics, an ongoing bi-monthly film series showcasing the best of classic documentaries! From Werner Herzog to Agnes Varda, GREY GARDENS to PARIS IS BURNING, this series will be your chance to see these world-class real life stories on the big screen like the filmmakers intended.
Meet Big and Little Edie Beale: mother and daughter, high-society dropouts, and reclusive cousins of Jackie Onassis. The two manage to thrive together amid the decay and disorder of their East Hampton, New York, mansion, making for an eerily ramshackle echo of the American Camelot. An impossibly intimate portrait, this 1976 documentary by Albert and David Maysles, codirected by Ellen Hovde and Muffie Meyer, quickly became a cult classic and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen.
