CRS FILM+VIDEO SHOW & TELL invites you to join us to screen and discuss “The Paper House Report,” a 25-minute documentary inspired by the compelling story of our East Village icon Jerry Delakas, the face of the Astor Place Newsstand, and his battle against the city to renew the license and continue to run his beloved newsstand.
The FREE screening and Q&A will take place Saturday, Feb 9, 2013 at 6 pm at CRS. Joining us will be filmmaker Nicole Cimino and other supporters of Jerry (and possibly Jerry himself) to provide an update on the fight with the Dept. of Community Affairs.
Delakas immigrated to the United States from Greece in the 1970’s and has been proudly running the newstand at Astor Place, long famous for being the first newstand to receive each new edition of the Village Voice, for the past 25 years.
Jerry’s fight and determination to save his business resonates with many and has inspired a movement of thousands. Director Nicole Cimino humanizes Delakasʼ battle and attempts to open the minds of those who hold the fate of Delakasʼ newsstand in their hands.
