The film “IX XI” — roman numerals for 9 11 — which was just released at this year’s Tribeca Festival will be screened around the neighborhood over the next several days. See below for the schedule.

“This is a film about September 11, 2001, as experienced by twelve strangers,” the filmmakers write. “Some were very close to the destruction of the Twin Towers, others far removed — but they, like all of us, crossed a border on that day between the world we knew and the world we live in now.”

The film, 86 minutes, intertwines the perspectives of 12 unrelated strangers to emphasize the human reaction to the shock and devastation of 9/11. Framing his subjects in glassy pools and mirrored rooms, director Sean Wilsey brings together individuals from all walks of life — from a professional skateboarder (Pat Smith) to a cartoonist (Roz Chast), a real estate broker to a Buddhist monk. They each share their memories of New York City and the World Trade Center before the attacks, as well as where they were on that day.

From the film festival’s description: “While there are numerous documented heroes and feats of human bravery on 9/11, IX XI highlights the mundanity of life leading up to this day, as well as the uniqueness of how each person experienced this tragedy. Wilsey shapes his documentary with the use of archival and cinematic footage, complimenting the notion that traumatic events can connect human beings in unexpected ways.”
