United States | 2008 | Sean Baker

With his last film Anora, Sean Baker (Tangerine, Florida Project) took the Palme D’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Presenting two of the director’s earlier works, we encourage you to discover the formation of his naturalistic directorial style and his empathetic interest in raw and authentic characters on the margins that constantly try to carve a place for themselves in a world that rejects them. In Prince of Broadway, a New York street hustler specializing in name-brand knock-offs finds his highly profitable game suddenly complicated when his ex-girlfriend shows up toting the son he never knew he had. 102 min.
