About this event
Both a loving portrait of a larger-than-life personality and a vivid record of New York’s 1970s downtown demimonde, this captivating documentary follows Tally Brown - cabaret chanteuse, underground film star, and a staple of Andy Warhol’s Factory - as she takes filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim on a tour through the grit and glamour of the city that made her. Capturing Brown’s mesmerising performances (including her breathtaking bilingual cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes”) as well as her social world among fellow queer cult icons like Holly Woodlawn, Divine, and Taylor Mead, Tally Brown, New York is an essential snapshot of a scene that has passed into legend. Restoration by the Deutsche Kinemathek.
