The Gold Coast International Film Festival will screen “Time Out of Mind,” a new film starring Richard Gere and Ben Vereen on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 7:30 p.m.at Soundview Cinemas in Port Washington.
Directed by the Academy Award nominated Oren Moverman (“The Messenger,” “Rampart”), “Time Out of Mind” is a look at life on the streets, immersing viewers in one man’s daily quest to survive.
Gere delivers a soul-baring performance as George, a man whose struggle to find food and a place to sleep in New York City is captured with realism and compassion.
Shuffled into the unforgiving bureaucracy of a men’s shelter, George seems destined to wind up as just another lost soul swallowed up by the system — until he meets a gregarious, down-and-out ex-jazzman (Vereen) who inspires George to reconnect with his estranged daughter, played by Jena Malone (“Donnie Darko,” “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire”).
Dedicated to previewing the best new independent films and studio releases, along with Q&A’s from filmmakers and a wide array of industry professionals, Gold Coast’s year-round events offer the most intriguing and engaging films around.
