THE NINE

98 min

NYC PREMIERE Celebrated photographer Katy Grannan transports us to a stigmatized world of drifters and hustlers in this exquisite portrait of a ravaged community living on a barren, forgotten street in California’s Great Central Valley. Her affectionate lens follows Kiki, a broken dreamer who nevertheless maintains a vital optimism that helps her survive in this precarious place. Grannan’s attention to gesture, relationships and the beautifully idiosyncratic details of her colorful subjects make for a remarkable first film.
