If you looked back at your life, what would you regret? Director Klaas Bense ponders this question after purchasing a mysterious diary on EBay. The diary belonged to a young man who moved to New York City in the 1980s, aspiring to become the next William Burroughs. Though talented, the young writer fails to be published and quickly descends into a life of drugs and crime. Inspired by the stories and photos captured in the diary, Bense travels to New York to discover what has become of the young writer and those who crossed his path. Through intimate interviews with former residents of the notorious Times Square Hotel, we are reminded to look deeper into the forgotten faces we encounter everyday. Filled with vivid character portraits and haunting images of New York's seedy underground, Diary of a Times Square Thief meditates on redemption, fate, and the beauty of human connection. Lynne Crocker.
Co-presented with The Scream Literary Festival.
