Press Release Body = Home (2006), 70min Directed by Dawn Scibilia With Alan Cooke Brooklyn filmmaker Dawn Scibilia had been shooting landscapes of New York City with a desire to document the changing city, but was not committed to making a film until she met Irish immigrant Alan Cooke. Home follows Cooke as he finds his way through New York in both a tribute to the everlasting beauty of the city and a harsh acknowledgment of the difficulties of living here. Into this tapestry, Scibilia weaves off-the-cuff interviews with numerous New York luminaries including Woody Allen, Pete Hamill, Frank McCourt, Malachy McCourt, Liam Neeson, Susan Sarandon, Fran Lebowitz, Mike Myers, Rosie Perez, and many more.
