2 films to see with East Village conncections — 'Bunny' and 'Peter Hujar's Day'

"Bunny," a caper set and filmed in the East Village with some familiar local faces, opens in a limited theatrical release as well on VOD. 

You can check out screenings starting today at the Village East by Angelika on Second Avenue and 12th Street. Crew members will conduct a Q&A session after the 7 p.m. screenings.

   

The film received some positive notices following its SXSW premiere. Per The Hollywood Reporter: 

"Bunny" successfully channels a downtown vibe that seems to be on the verge of extinction — one where neighbors of all types, shapes and sizes live on top of one another in cluttered apartments, forging a camaraderie that could only exist in that part of New York. 

Meanwhile! "Peter Hujar's Day," which we mentioned several times previously, opens today at the Film Forum.
