Edie Falco and Eric Mendelsohn In Person!
Friday, March 18 7:15pm / Members $25 / Public $35 (includes Reception)
Long Islanders Edie Falco and Eric Mendelsohn, who previously collaborated on the acclaimed
comedy Judy Berlin, reunite to create a gentle but haunting tale of three suburban lives.
From Long Island writer-director Eric Mendelsohn, the only
two-time winner of the directing prize at Sundance (first for Judy
Berlin in 1999 which also starred fellow Long Islander Edie Falco)
comes 3 Backyards, the story of three residents of the same Long
Island town over the course of one seemingly perfect autumn day.
The film looks past familiar suburban exteriors and instead peers
deeply into the private lives of its characters as they embark on tiny,
personal journeys that eventually carry them vast distances from
everything that is familiar. A businessman (Elias Koteas) with marital
troubles gets "lost" on a business trip without ever leaving town. A
little girl (Rachel Resheff) steals her mother's jewelry in the morning
and finds herself faced with frightening, adult decisions by late
afternoon. A well-meaning housewife (Edie Falco) offers her
celebrity neighbor (Embeth Davidtz) a lift and the trip detours into
unsettling territory. By day's end, the familiar geography of the suburban landscape dissolves into a place of mystery, loss and
potential danger; a dreamscape where identity can be challenged, shattered, and sometimes reclaimed
