MOVING IMAGE PRESENTS INNOVATIVE HURRICANE KATRINA DOCUMENTARY ‘THE AXE IN THE ATTIC’ WITH CO-DIRECTOR LUCIA SMALL IN PERSON
On Saturday, February 23, 2008, at 6:30 p.m. the Museum of the Moving Image will present a special screening of The Axe in the Attic, a moving documentary about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina by filmmakers Ed Pincus and Lucia Small. The film, which premiered at the 2007 New York Film Festival, incorporates the filmmakers’ personal responses to interviews with displaced New Orleans residents. Co-director Lucia Small will participate in a discussion following the screening, moderated by Assistant Curator Livia Bloom.
The Axe in the Attic documents Lucia Small and Ed Pincus’s 60-day road trip from New England to New Orleans, capturing emotional interviews with Katrina survivors and showing vivid scenes of the devastated landscape. The filmmakers encounter a range of evacuees grappling with the daily grind of their altered lives—from a close-knit African American family from New Orleans’ Lower Ninth starting over in the wintry hills of suburban Pittsburgh; to a single working mother raising two teenagers in a condo on the outskirts of Cincinnati; to Baker, Louisiana, where the residents of FEMA’s largest trailer park live as if in a refugee camp. In the process, Small and Pincus reveal their own role in these encounters and thus bring the viewer closer to the many stories in the film.
“Lucia Small and Ed Pincus take a daringly personal and experimental approach to the material,” said Bloom, who organized the screening. “The strength of The Axe in the Attic lies in its intimacy, both in capturing the moving, articulate interviews with survivors, and in revealing the directors’ own emotions and motivations.”
The Axe in the Attic 2007, 110 mins. Video. Produced, directed, and written by Lucia Small and Ed Pincus. For a full press kit about The Axe in the Attic and to download images, go to The Axe in the Attic. Co-director Lucia Small is available for interviews.

STILL(e)
SUSAN SCHWARZWALD, Writer/Director
narrative, 26 mins
http://www.firstgazefilms.com
Synopsis
Through the lens of memory, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor re-visits the pain of remembering, tinged with the fear of forgetting, that silently haunts her father, herself, and now, her young daughter as well. Still(e) is an award-winning narrative short about the legacy of trauma left to future generations through silence. It is 1992 in America. Julia's 11th birthday party happens to fall on the anniversary of the day in 1938 Vienna, that marked the end of life, as her grandfather Sam once knew it. A photo album. An aria. A solitary boat ride and the lighting of memorial candles. All converge to catalyze memories that have shaped this family's emotional landscape ever since the Nazi terror first shattered Sam's youth, as perfectly as the broken glass shards of Kristallnacht. While Sam retreats into the familiar silence these memories provoke, Julia's mother Lily has an epiphany: She was Julia's age when she first began to understand her family's silence to be a loud, ineffable language that was not about quiet, and might never be.
Filmmaker Bio
Still(e) is SUSAN SCHWARZWALD'S directorial debut. Her introduction to filmmaking was in the mid-1970s as a crewmember on commercial and experimental films of the late Robert Rivlin.
