Catalina Kulczar at SUR. Special screening of Daisy Film.

Sur NYC is honored to host a special screening of Daisy, a deeply personal short documentary by award-winning filmmaker and photographer Catalina Kulczar. This moving film weaves together themes of grief, intergenerational trauma, and self-discovery through the lens of open-water swimming and a search for ancestral identity.

Following the loss of her mother to suicide, Kulczar embarks on a journey to explore her Jewish lineage and her family's immigration history, tracing their roots back to 1940s Hungary. Daisy is a poetic meditation on healing, memory, and the ways we navigate personal and inherited loss.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Catalina Kulczar and special guests, where we will explore the themes of the film, the role of storytelling in processing grief, and the intersections of personal history, memory, and art.

This event is ideal for those interested in film, storytelling, and the transformative power of creative expression.

Join us for an evening of reflection, discussion, and cinematic exploration.
