Director of Philly-set Night Catches Us discusses her film

Director Tanya Hamilton discusses her locally-set/shot film Night Catches Us on The New York Times' Arts Beat as part of a series of pieces of films in the New Directors/New Films festival. Set in 1976, Night Catches Us stars Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker) who returns to Philadelphia after a decade in exile and reunites with former flame Pat (Kerry Washington), but the Black Panthers and a cop put a kink in their happiness. It premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival to solid reviews. Unfortunately, the Times is greedy with their videos and won't let me embed. The rest of the series is worth watching, as well.
