Updated: Now playing through March 21
The theatrical release of "Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World," the documentary on the iconic Ukrainian diner on the corner of Second Avenue and Ninth Street, is on for another week at the Village East by Angelika.
The well-reviewed film is now screening at the theater on 12th Street and Second Avenue through Thursday, March 14. March 21. (For all the EVG readers in Los Angeles, it's playing at the Laemmle NoHo 7.)
If you want to hear more about the production, there are Q&As after Sunday's 1:25 p.m. screening and the Monday-Thursday 7:30 p.m. shows. (The previous Q&As have included director Michael Fiore, Tom and Jason Birchard, Veselka's second and third-generation owners, and staff members featured in the documentary.)

I'm so happy to see the Veselka documentary's run extended another week. The Q&As are worth attending as well, to hear the story behind the story.
I know nothing of how the finances of independent filmmaking work. Is it likely that the artists behind this one will earn any money from it, or is it a labor of love and perhaps a steppingstone? Does each week that the run is extended bring it significantly closer to profitability? Would appreciate hearing from anyone with knowledge of such matters. Thanks
Hi anon at 10:17 pm on March 9. If you take a look at our previous story (https://evgrieve.com/2024/03/a-vist-to-veselka-as-east-village.html), owner Jason Birchard says they are donating the net proceeds of the film to Razom for Ukraine. I do not know anything else about the profitability of the film.
