Alumna Cindy Kleine's New York Film Premiere Cindy Kleine's (BFA '82, Dip '83, FY '84) film Phyllis and Harold is having its New York premiere on Friday, February 19 at Cinema Village. Tickets for the event are now in sale.

Phyllis and Harold is an astoundingly frank journey through a disastrous 59-year marriage. Drawing on a lifetime of her family's home movies and interviews made over 12 years, filmmaker Kleine mixes reportage, cinema verit and animation to uncover family secrets and tell a story that could not be shown publicly as long as her father was still alive.

Phyllis and Harold delves into the mystery of time passing, the nature of living a life, and the challenges of losing those we love. But it is also a loving, funny expos on the sins of suburbia. Imagine Bergman's "Scenes from a Marriage" seen through the prism of "I Love Lucy."
