Carol & Joy

Shot on wonderfully warm, light-filled 16 mm with the intimacy of a home movie, this vibrant documentary snapshot captures beloved actor Carol Kane (reuniting with BETWEEN THE TEMPLES director Nathan Silver) and her mother, ninety-eight-year-old music teacher and former dancer Joy Kane, during a lively afternoon in the Upper West Side apartment they share. As visitors drop by and music fills the home, Joy reflects on nearly one hundred years of living on her own uncompromising terms, while Carol discusses the influence her mother’s iconoclastic spirit has had on her own life.

Starring Carol Kane, Joy Kane
