DESCRIPTION:\n	Introduced by Richard Koszarski \n\n\n	Followed by a book si
 gning in the Museum Shop\n\n\n	Dir. Morris Engel. 1953\, 75 mins. 35mm. Wi
 th Richard Brewster\, Winifred Cushing\, Jay Williams. Morris Engel’s 1953
  classic is a charming cinematic fable that captures the joys and wonders 
 of childhood in the gritty\, magical atmosphere of New York in the 1950s. 
 When seven-year-old Joey (Richie Andrusco) is tricked into believing he ki
 lled his older brother\, he gathers his meager possessions and flees to Co
 ney Island\, where adventure\, mystery\, and surprises await. Engel was a 
 lifelong New Yorker and a well-known photojournalist. He and his wife\, ph
 otographer Ruth Orkin\, along with co-collaborator Ray Ashley\, inaugurate
 d the age of independent filmmaking when they took to the streets of New Y
 ork with a handheld camera to shoot Little Fugitive. The film was a surpri
 se hit\, playing in nearly 5\,000 theaters in the U.S.\, winning the Silve
 r Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival\, and earning an Academy Award no
 mination for its screenplay. The movie's success encouraged other young fi
 lmmakers such as François Truffaut and John Cassavetes to circumvent the s
 tudio system and finance their own films. Truffaut himself lauded the film
  saying\, 'Our New Wave would never have come into being if it hadn't been
  for the young Morris Engel...with his fine Little Fugitive.' \n\n“The fil
 m’s simplicity was itself a great part of its appeal: no pointed moral\, n
 o dramatic character arc\, no allegorical references to corruption\, intol
 erance\, World War II\, or nuclear disarmament. Instead the audience is le
 d on by the film’s uncanny sense of observation—not just in terms of photo
 graphic imagery but in the way ordinary New Yorkers relate to one another\
 , solve their little problems\, and go about the mundane details of their 
 everyday lives.” —Richard Koszarski \n\n	\n	\n	  \n\n\n	Tickets: $15 / $11
