1956 in New York City

In 1956, New York City bore witness to a groundbreaking event that would have a lasting impact on modern art and culture: the premiere of the film "Le Ballon Rouge" (The Red Balloon) by French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse. This enchanting, wordless short film captivated audiences not only in New York but around the world, and went on to win numerous awards, including an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

"Le Ballon Rouge" tells the story of a young boy named Pascal, who discovers a large, red helium-filled balloon on his way to school. The balloon seems to have a life of its own, and it soon becomes Pascal's companion as they navigate the streets of Paris. The film is a beautiful exploration of friendship, loneliness, and the wonders of childhood, set against the backdrop of the French capital.
