The Collector of Bedford Street

From Fledgling

This coming Thursday February 11, Alice Elliot will be screening and speaking about her documentary The Collector of Bedford Street. The film attempts to dispel the myths and fallacies of developmental disabilities by sharing the life of Larry Selman, a man who despite his seeming disabilities, worked actively in his community to raise money for charitable donations. He was honored by the Muscular Dystrophy Association for being the largest single contributor in the New York City Metropolitan area during their "Be a Star" campaign and by St. Vincent's Hospital for raising $1100 for the pediatric clinic. Alice Elliot also produced Body & Soul: Kathy & Diana. To purchase a ticket and to see the film check out the SVA SocDoc Lecture Series or email mfasocdoc@sva.edu for more information.
