Terminal Bar (2x6)

Air date: May 17, 2002

This debut short by Stefan Nadelman, who had been working as a print and web designer, prior to making films, is a stunning portrait of a hidden corner of New York City. TERMINAL BAR is a Flash animated documentary about one of the toughest most eccentric bars in the city, as seen through the haunting black-and-white photographs taken by the directors father, Sheldon, who was a bartender at the 42nd Street bar from 1972 to 1982. Amongst its accolades the film won the Jury prize at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival.
