Beautiful People
Directed by Elzbieta Szoka67mDocumentary, Short,
Musicians that specialize in Irish Traditional music show up every Tuesday night at a pub called Dempsey's, located on 2nd Ave in Manhattan's East Village area. For the last 12 years, a group ranging from 30-50 musicians show up, fiddles, accordions, bodhrans, flutes and concertinas, to participate in the longest running session in NYC. The group welcomes all guests and visitors to sit in on their jam session, which usually runs for at least four hours. The film 'Beautiful People,' directed by Elzbieta Szoka and produced by Sam Adelman and Paradox Smoke Productions, captures the spirit of the group by specifically focusing on portraits of ten of its members, highlighting their diversity, and what draws them all together for this common interest.
