BY ROGER EBERT The prize for best short film went to "Terminal Bar," by Stefan Nadelman, who pressed a tape of the film into my hands after the ceremony. I viewed it half an hour later, and was fascinated by its portrait of "the toughest bar in New York," which used to be across from the Port Authority bus terminal at 8th Avenue and 42nd Street, where Nadelman's father bartended for 10 years, making a photographic record of hundreds of regulars. The father's flat, amused but detached descriptions of the scene and his photographs are like a textbook on applied alcoholism. http://www.suntimes.com/output/eb-feature/cst-ftr-ebert27.html Roger
Ebert Took My Picture!
Stefan Nadelman poses with his film "Terminal Bar," which won the Sundance prize as best short subject. It is based on his father's 10-year experience as a bartender in the "toughest bar in New York," at 8th Avenue and 42nd Street. |
