"There's energy in the building." Magnolia Pictures has revealed the official trailer for a documentary film titled in full: Dreaming Walls: Inside the Chelsea Hotel. It is indeed about the iconic "Hotel Chelsea" in New York City's Manhattan on W 23rd Street (see Google Maps). The film premiered at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, and also played at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, CPH DOX, and next is screening at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC this month. The end of an long upmarket renovation of the legendary Chelsea Hotel is partly longed for and partly dreaded by the artists who still live there. The film grants us access to their apartments and interweaves the past with the present. "Famous as the preferred abode of New York’s bohemia from the 1950s to the 1980s. Here, bourgeois society’s misfits – sex workers, poets, queers and artists – were able to find cheap accommodation and form alliances. In this documentary, the remaining tenants from that era grant access to their flats and give us an insight into their lives." Looks like a melancholic profile of a building and how the many people that lived there made it something special. ›››
