Hilary Leitner Presents
Musical Documentary & Live Performance
Saturday, August 24th at 7pm
CLICK HERE TO BUY YOUR TICKETS
This musical documentary by filmmaker and visual artist, Hilary Leitner, is an intimate portrait that reveals the essence and psychology of a man, 82-year-old artist Nick Della Penna, who devoted over 35 years to creating a magical stone monument by hand. This castle-like structure is interwoven with mosaics and sculptures which mirror the state of our world and Nick’s perspective on it. Leitner visually, musically and narratively arranges this film to magnify this exceptional creative blast. After fifty minutes you’ll walk away feeling that you, too, can do anything. Music by award-winning composer, musician and recent Drama Desk Winner, Erik Della Penna. Watch the trailer here!
The film showing will be followed by a Q&A and a special live music performance by our Erik Della Penna on guitar and Daisy Castro on violin. The two are members of the internationally renowned music ensemble, Hazmat Modine, as well as being artists in their own right.
There will also be a chance for people to meet Nick Della Penna informally after the event.
