Director Tom Quinn in person for post-screening Q&A.
Recently nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, The New Year Parade follows Jack and Kat McMonogul over the course of a year as their parents separate and eventually divorce. As past indiscretions are exposed, Jack and Kat question their own identities while struggling to build meaningful relationships. At twenty-five, Jack is deemed "old enough" to deal with the details of his parents' situation; becoming their confidant, their go-between and Kat's caretaker. Set against the backdrop of Philadelphia's Mummery, one of the oldest American folk traditions, The New Year Parade is an attempt to step back from the broadly discussed, but barely understood term: DIVORCE, instead emphasizing the small moments of change that many young people experience.
Director: Tom Quinn. 85 min. 2009.
