Mark your calendar for the World Premiere of ALMOST THERE, a Kartemquin Films documentary directed by Aaron Wickenden (of THE INTERRUPTERS) and Dan Rybicky!

ALMOST THERE is a coming-of-(old)-age story about 83-year-old Peter Anton, an "outsider" artist living in isolated and crippling conditions whose world changes when two filmmakers discover his work and storied past. Shot over eight years, Almost There documents Anton's first major exhibition and how the controversy it generates forces him to leave his childhood home. Each layer revealed reflects on the intersections of social norms, elder care, and artistic expression.

ALMOST THERE is one of four Kartemquin documentaries showing on the opening weekend of DOCNYC, the country’s largest documentary festival, held at New York's IFC Center. Filmmakers Wickenden and Rybicky will attend their world premiere on Saturday November 15th at 6:45pm and their encore screening on Monday, November 17th at 1pm.
