WILDWOOD, NJ (1994) w/ filmmaker Ruth Leitman in attendance

Come reminisce about summers past (and the recently passed summer) with an encore screening of the 1994 time capsule WILDWOOD, NJ! Shot on dreamy Super-8 by an all-women crew led by co-directors Ruth Leitman and Carol Weaks Cassidy, this classic Nineties documentary shines a charming light on the lives of women from the last great New Jersey carnival town. From go-go dancers to pre-teen brats, to goths working as vampires in the boardwalk’s haunted house, WILDWOOD’s vox pop moves beyond big hair and Press-On nails to explore the souls of women raised on these neon lights, rides and beaches. It’s easy to see why Lana Del Rey included footage in her "Diet Mountain Dew" vid.
