The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Meyerowitz and ICP Creative Director David Campany.About the FilmLate in life, two strangers–Bronx-born photographer Joel Meyerowitz and British artist/writer Maggie Barrett–meet and fall in love. Growing old is not for the faint of heart, and Joel and Maggie must face the specter of the end of life.
