I know a few folks who love Paul Rudd so much that I almost bought them tickets to Rudd’s February 4 appearance at 92YTribeca, but I didn’t. There’s some intriguing stuff on the schedule—including screenings of Gosford Park and The Real Cancún—which I’m pasting here with minimal tweaking because it’d take me hours to reformat it (because for some reason the fonts go buggy when I paste the organization’s releases—and even worse, this time there’s a happy face with sunglasses on it that I can’t get rid of. WTF?).

In celebration of Black History Month, 92YTribeca is proud to present Joshua Nelson, “The Prince of Kosher Gospel Music,” in a special Shabbat dinner and concert in our Mainstage.

Nelson has shared the stage with such notables as Aretha Franklin, Jamie Fox, Maya Angelou, Wynton Marsalis, Dionne Warwick, and President Barack Obama. 92YTribeca.org/Music

Film | THE REAL CANCUN
Seemingly inspired by the breakout success of Jackass: The Movie, the producers of the long-running MTV reality show The Real World decided to test out their formula in a multiplex environment with this jaw-dropping spectacle of American youth gone preposterously idiotic. The fact that The Real Cancun was shot in only ten days during March of 2003, concurrent with our country’s invasion of Iraq, makes it one of the more unintentionally brilliant statements of hypocrisy of the decade. That it was released in theaters only five weeks later makes it a legitimate poster child for the burgeoning digital revolution of the early 21st century. As a sloppy assemblage of spoiled, attractive young party animals gather to do body shots, dance, and make out like horny banhees and banshees, all hope for the future is tossed away like an empty bottle of Cuervo. In spite of itself, it’s a genuine Misunderstood Gem. Part of the series Hammer to Nail Presents Misunderstood Gems: 2000-2009. Director: Rick De Oliveira. 96 min. 2003. 92YTribeca.org/Film

Stuck in a dead-end job and haunted by grander dreams of making movies, Lee Kazimir reads some offhanded advice from a well-known filmmaker, who says that aspiring directors could learn what the art of cinema truly means by “walking alone for five thousand kilometers — let’s say from Madrid to Kiev.” Kazimir decides to take the advice literally, flies to Madrid and sets out on foot toward Kiev on a route that arcs some 3,000 miles across the breadth of Europe and traces through the heart of seven countries.  Through encounters both hilarious and heartrending, Kazimir begins to realize that to understand film-making, he will first have to understand life itself.  Director: Lee Kazimir. 73 min. 2008. 92YTribeca.org/Film
