The Paris Theater in collaboration with the Maysles Documentary Center is thrilled to present a special 50th Anniversary screening of Albert and David Maysles' landmark 1975 documentary, Grey Gardens. The film, which premiered at the Paris Theater fifty years ago, will be introduced by actress, model and author Julia Fox (Uncut Gems, Night Always Comes), designer Alexis Bittar and Rebekah Maysles. The screening will take place at 2:00 PM on Sunday, October 5 at the Paris Theater.

Grey Gardens introduced the world to Big and Little Edie Beale: mother and daughter, high-society dropouts, and reclusive cousins of Jackie Onassis. The two manage to thrive together amid the decay and disorder of their East Hampton, New York, mansion, making for an eerily ramshackle echo of the American Camelot. An impossibly intimate portrait, this 1976 documentary by Albert and David Maysles, codirected by Ellen Hovde and Muffie Meyer, quickly became a cult classic and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen.
