FILM - All the Way Through Evening

Event Details

The story of the HIV/AIDS crisis in New York City. As you've never heard it before. A musical documentary.

Every year, exuberant “70-something” East Village concert pianist Mimi Stern- Wolfe performs a breathtaking concert of works by her friends, all composers, who were lost to the silent killer of New York City.

The award winning musical documentary ALL THE WAY THROUGH EVENING chronicles the era when the HIV/AIDS pandemic swept through a downtown arts community and ravaged the world. Accompanied by the moving music written by those departed, the film recalls this tragedy with candid interviews from friends, family and the lovers that survived it.

Directed by Australian Rohan Spong (whose debut T IS FOR TEACHER was acclaimed by two local reviewers as amongst “the best films of 2009”), this engaging and poignant documentary charts Mimi's struggle as she prepares for the concert, and is a true testament to the strength of friendship and the power of music.
