<A TITLE="EFM" TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.everyfoldmatters.com/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">EVERY FOLD MATTERS</A>, a live performance with film by Lizzie Olesker and Lynne Sachs, that looks at the charged, intimate space of the local laundromat and the people who work there.  At the crossroads of a New York City neighborhood, we meet four characters in a laundromat – a uniquely social and public space that is quickly disappearing from our changing urban landscape.  Based on interviews with laundry workers, Every Fold Matters uses fiction and documentary elements to explore stories of immigration, identity, money, stains and dirt.Featuring  acclaimed downtown actors Ching Valdes-Aran, Jasmine Holloway, Veraalba Santa, and Tony Torn, design by Chris Maltby, film editing by Amanda Katz, producing by Nick McCarthy and original music derived from the sounds of a real, working laundromat by Stephen Vitiello.
