    Chekhov for Children

    2010     Documentary    
    1h 14min

    Chekhov for Children tells the inspiring story of an ambitious undertaking -- the 1979 staging on Broadway of Uncle Vanya by New York City 5th & 6th graders, directed by the celebrated writer Phillip Lopate. Using a wealth of never-before-screened student documentary videos and dramatic super 8mm films from the era, Chekhov for Children explores the interplay between art and life for a dozen friends across 30 years -- including the filmmaker.
