Q&A session to follow screening, featuring Clayton Patterson, Elsa Rensaa, Jenner Furst, Dan Levin, and Ben Solomon.

Tonight New Museum (235 Bowery) presents the 2008 documentary Captured by Jenner Furst, Dan Levin, and Ben Solomon, who examine the life of filmmaker, photographer, and longtime Bowery resident Clayton Patterson. Since 1979, Patterson has dedicated his life to documenting the final era of raw creativity and lawlessness in New York City’s Lower East Side, a neighborhood famed for art, music and revolutionary minds. Traversing the outside edge he’s recorded a dark and colorful society, from drag to hardcore, heroin, homelessness, political chaos and ultimately gentrification. His odyssey from voyeur to provocateur reveals that it can take losing everything you love to find your own significance.
