MANHATTAN BY NUMBERS: John Wojda Introduces Amir Naderi’s Film
George needs rent money, and a hard-to-find acquaintance may be his last lead. In Amir Naderi’s MANHATTAN BY NUMBERS, that search carries him from Washington Heights toward the Lower East Side by subway and on foot.
A route with a specific purpose
Film Forum describes George as out of work and deeply in debt, searching for $1,200 to pay rent. The sum gives his movement through Manhattan a practical urgency: the subway trip and stretches on foot are part of the search, not incidental travel.
The U.S. feature was made in 1993 and directed by Amir Naderi, whose earlier work includes the Iranian classic THE RUNNER. John Wojda plays George, with Daniel Oreskes also starring.
Wojda introduces the character he plays
Wojda is scheduled to introduce the screening, bringing a direct connection to George’s role. Film Forum also credits him with a lead part opposite Anthony Quinn in SEVEN SERVANTS and appearances in GOLD, SHAFT, THE ARTIST’S ASSISTANT and VISITING FRIENDS.
His other listed work includes guest roles in streaming and network television, as well as theater on Broadway, off Broadway, on tour and in repertory. He received an Obie Award for Ecstasy at the New Group.
The museum anniversary behind NYC IN TRANSIT
Film Forum’s NYC IN TRANSIT series marks the New York Transit Museum’s 50th anniversary. Founded in 1976 as part of the U.S. Bicentennial, the museum occupies a 1936 subway station in Downtown Brooklyn and holds more than one million objects related to public transportation.
The series ranges across films that use the city and its transit in different ways. Its other listed titles include THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE (1974), THE INCIDENT, THE NAKED CITY, THE WARRIORS, DUTCHMAN, THE FRENCH CONNECTION and Harold Lloyd’s SPEEDY (1928). Those titles belong to the broader series, not this screening’s program.
