Terminal Bar

This debut short by Stefan Nadelman, who had been working as a print and web designer, prior to making films, is a stunning portrait of a hidden corner of New York City. TERMINAL BAR is a Flash animated documentary about one of the toughest most eccentric bars in the city, as seen through the haunting black-and-white photographs taken by the directors father, Sheldon, who was a bartender at the 42nd Street bar from 1972 to 1982. Amongst its accolades the film won the Jury prize at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival.

L'histoire du "Terminal Bar" et de ses clients racontée, en images, par Sheldon Nadelman, gendre du fondateur Murray Goldman et barman de 1972 à 1982, à son fils. Situé au croisement de la 8e avenue et de la 42e rue, l'un des quartiers les plus mal famés et excentriques de New York, ce bar est devenu le repaire d'une population majoritairement Noire et homosexuelle avant de fermer début 1982..
