The Moretown Memorial Library invites you to a free screening of the award-winning documentary: Cutie and the Boxer. The screening will take place on Friday, October 9 at 7pm at the Moretown Town Hall. This event is a collaboration with POV, the award-winning independent non-fiction film series on PBS www.pbs.org/pov
Cutie and the Boxer is a love story, an art story, a family story and a New York City story— all of them weird, funny and a little heartbreaking. It’s a Japanese story, too. As a young artist in Tokyo in the 1960s, Ushio Shinohara was a rowdy avant-garde painter destined for fame and fortune. Seeking international recognition, he moved to New York City in 1969. Four years later, at age 41, he met 19‐year‐old Noriko, who had made her own journey from rural Japan to New York in pursuit of her artistic ambitions. The stage was set for love and art to blossom. But something went awry on the road to a bright future.
Cutie and the Boxer won both a 2014 Grierson Award for Best Cinema Documentary and the U.S. Documentary Directing Award for Zachary Heinzerling at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Its national broadcast premiere was Friday, Sept. 18, 2015 as a special presentation on PBS’s POV(Point of View). American television’s longest‐running independent documentary series, POV is the recipient of a 2013 MacArthur Foundation Award for Creative and Effective Institution.
