TRUE CRIME, TRUE BEGINNINGS: The Catfish 15-Year Retrospective w/ Nev Schulman

  • DCTV's Firehouse Cinema 87 Lafayette Street New York, NY, 10013 United States (map)
  • In 2011, LESFF had the honor of hosting the New York premiere of the little-known indie documentary Catfish in our pop-up storefront on Norfolk Street, our very first year. The film not only coined the term 'catfishing' but also helped catapult the true-crime documentary into a defining genre of modern non-fiction filmmaking. Join us for the 15th Anniversary screening, plus a special conversation with Nev Schulman as we look back at the film’s legacy, its ripple effects, and the internet phenomenon it launched.
