Join Tribeca Festival & NYWIFT as we proudly co-host screenings of Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore, Executive Produced by NYWIFT Member Ruth Ann Harnisch!
In filmmaker, actress and writer Shoshannah Stern’s debut documentary, she explores the life of the most influential deaf actor of her generation, Marlee Matlin. Launching into the Hollywood stratosphere at age 19 with her Academy Award®-winning performance in Children of a Lesser God, Matlin became a household name with just one film under her belt. A richly deserved honor for her raw and immersive performance, the recognition also came with a tidal wave of responsibility and layered expectations from both the hearing and deaf communities that Matlin had to contend with while hiding painful secrets in her personal life.
NYWIFT Co-Hosts ‘Maintenance Artist’ at the 2025 Tribeca Festival
Join Tribeca Festival & NYWIFT as we proudly co-host screenings of Maintenance Artist, directed, written, and produced by NYWIFT Member Toby Perl Freilich!
1979, New York City. At their work site, sanitation workers give their undivided attention to a woman who’s stopped by for a visit. They listen to her speak, but stand with their arms folded. “Good morning! My name is Mierle Laderman Ukeles. I’m a maintenance artist. I feel that you hold up the whole city in your hands with your unending work. I think it’s time for the public to hear what New York City feels like, from the side of the people that keep it alive, every single day.” With that, Ukeles initiated one of her most ambitious and socially-conscious works — pursuing the idea that acts of individual social maintenance, including sanitation work, could be deemed a form of performance art.
