The Last Bohemians is a short documentary series about eight older artists who live in NYC’s historic Chelsea Hotel, directed by artist Timothy Goodman.
Since its opening in 1883, just about everything has been mythologized about the hotel: the rock stars, drugs, deaths and tales of ghosts. However, what many people don’t know or talk about are the residents that still live in the hotel today, some of whom have been there for over 45 years. This series celebrates eight of them through their work and incredible creative lives, capturing a vanishing era of the city.
Directed, edited and produced by artist Timothy Goodman, the film was selected at the Newport Beach Film Festival, and won Best Docuseries at the Big Apple Film Festival. Q&A with renowned writer and Design Matters host Debbie Millman will follow the screening, joined by some of the Chelsea residents. The program will open with "Mon Taxi," a short film directed by Meriem Sakrouhi and an official selection of the 2026 Tribeca Festival.
