A lot has been told about the 9/11 disaster in New York, but some stories still deserve to be brought to your attention.
‘OUT OF THE DARKNESS’ is a short documentary by Miriam Kapner. The film highlights the power of music and the arts to heal trauma. In this case, that trauma is the event and immediate aftermath of 9/11 in New York City.
Kapner talks to musicians who volunteered to play music for the first responders during 9/11. Volunteer musicians and artists spent much of their time in Lower Manhattan for weeks and months. The two the film focuses on developed the same lung cancers that later afflicted many of the first responders, and unfortunately made the ultimate sacrifice for their work.
Miriam Kapner is both the executive producer and composer of ‘Out of the Darkness’. For this film she worked with students at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas and the University of Denver in Colorado.
The NYC Independent Film Festival is completely back in 2023, at the Producer’s Club from June 4 to 11, and the award show on June 11th. The NYC Independent Film Festival is especially for the independent filmmakers who don’t have the backing of major production companies or international distribution companies.
Filmmakers selected for the NYC Independent Film Festival are often the film creator, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and director, all in one. For them, the festival is the ideal platform to launch their new film and to reach a wide audience in New York. And to make important contacts in the film world.
