If you are in the NY area, you will not want to miss tomorrow night’s Mermaids of NY event. In fact, it’s a critic’s pick in Time Out New York, this week!
Bambi The Mermaid looks across the hudson to the shores of Jersey city.
Tomorrow, Thursday July, 21, will be an amazing evening of film and discussion for anyone already obsessed with mermaids or just mer-curious. Sirens & Society: Postmodern Mermaidia is a screening and panel discussion to investigate the new wave of mermaid imagery and lifestyle being created by individual artists and the culture industry at large. We will begin with a preview screening of our new documentary Mermaids of New York, followed by a panel discussion featuring professor Amy Herzog.
We are thrilled to have Amy joining us, she is a very knowledgeable mermaid and an associate professor of film studies at Queens College and The Graduate Center, CUNY. She is the author of Dreams of Difference, Songs of the Same: The Image of Time in Musical Film, which includes an extended study of Esther Williams and “water-based” musical cinema.
The event is $5 and begins at 8pm at Observatory, in Brooklyn.
Can’t wait to sea you there!
