The Organ Grinder
Sat, 08 Apr 1933
A beloved Italian organ grinder plays his music and sings his song through an immigrant-filled ghetto neighborhood, where hard-scrabble kids and well-proportioned matrons get hep to the beat that flows from the organ grinder's calliope. There are lots of spoofs of life on the Lower East Side and lots of monkeyshines as the organ grinder's pet performs "42nd Street" and imitates some Hollywood greats. The monkey takes wing and gets behind the wheel of a car, driving all over the area and wrecking everything.
A Film by Roland Wehap
Fri, 23 May 2025
A Film by Roland Wehap is a sharp, self-aware satire that blurs the line between fiction and autobiography. In this audacious "one-man show," filmmaker Roland Wehap sets out to answer a radical question: Can you make a feature film entirely on your own and with almost no budget? With biting humor and raw honesty, the film chronicles the trials of a fiercely independent artist chasing recognition, glory - and maybe even a touch of immortality - through his uncompromising vision. Along the way, he crafts a film about his sleeping cat, launches his own film festival after rejections pile up, and briefly grabs the spotlight on the international stage. But behind the absurdity lies a sobering truth: success in the spotlight doesn't always pay the bills. Ultimately, A Film by Roland Wehap is both a satire and a love letter to filmmaking itself - a testament to creative persistence, no matter the odds.
