[SCREENING] Many people who call Buffalo home are the sons, daughters, grandchildren or great grandchildren of immigrants who passed through the gateway to America that was Ellis Island. The famous actor, Robert De Niro is also the descendants of immigrants—his great grandparents—who were processed at Ellis Island. For this reason, the star chose to appear in Ellis, a new short film by director JR, a French street artist known for his art installations on the same subject. The 14-minute long film premiered in New York City October 4, and on Thursday, November 12 it will make its Buffalo premier at the North Park Theatre. The film will be presented by Team Radio with a suggested donation of $5 to benefit Journey’s End Refugee Service.
