The Rooftop Films 2008 Summer Series

In 1969, 14-year-old Jerry Levitan (the producer of this film) captured one of the greatest teenage home recordings of all time: he snuck into John Lennon’s apartment to conduct an impromptu interview. Almost 40 years later, animator John Raskin unearths the tape, and poetically gives life to this long lost artifact, which puts Levitan’s youthful optimism in balance with Lennon’s cynical hopes.
