THE ENGLISH SURGEON Opens in NYC

If you read this blog regularly (and if you don't, why not?), you'll know that I've written about this gorgeous film many times before and love, love, love it.  The film's main subject, Dr. Henry Marsh (pictured) will be in New York for opening weekend, as will its director, Geoffrey Smith.  You can read my original review after seeing it at Hot Docs in Toronto last year here.

At the Cinema Village on East 12th Street, The English Surgeon will make its US theatrical début with Marsh and Smith in attendance at the 6:30 p.m. show this Friday the 24th; the 7:10 p.m. show this Saturday the 25th; and at the 3:00 p.m. show this Sunday the 27th. 

There will also be an opening night wine and cheese reception Friday night from 8:30 to 10:30 at the Ukrainian Institute of America (the film takes place mostly in Ukraine) at 2 East 79th Street hosted by the Institute and the Ukrainian Medical Association of North America NY Metro Branch to honor both men.  The film will have its Los Angeles opening next Friday the 31st at the Laemmle's Music Hall in Beverly Hills.

It's also possible to host your own screening of the film as an individual or as part of a larger organization.  Contact Outreach Coordinator, Krystal Lord, at [email protected] to discuss how she can help tailor a plan for your organization or community and to also arrange for a personal appearance by Dr. Marsh and/or Geoffrey Smith.
