Cornelia Street Cafe In Exile [OV] USA 2025, R:  Michael Jacobsohn mit  David Amram, Arturo O'Farrill, Roald Hoffmann, Eve Ensler, Cliff Eberhardt, 77 Min, Anschließend Q&A mit dem Regisseur

Sadly, the Cornelia Street Cafe has been closed for six years. After 41 years of running the Cafe, Robin Hirsch finds himself in exile. This full length documentary directed by Michael Jacobsohn captures the importance the cafe played in the artistic community of New York City.

The cafe’s destruction is a reminder to Hirsch, second generation Holocaust survivor, of the painful loss that his parents endured having been forced out of Germany. In exile, Hirsch attempts to resurrect what has been lost.
