The Automat
Directed by Lisa Hurwitz
USA | 89 minutes | 2021
Join us for a special under the stars presentation of MJFF 2022 Audience Award-winning film The Automat on Saturday, February 19 at 8pm at Bal Harbour on the beach at 96th Street, behind the Majestic Towers (9601 Collins Ave).

Featuring testimonials from a slew of esteemed former customers and luminaries such as comedy icons Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, as well as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Colin Powell, Elliot Gould, and Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, this fascinating film delves deep into America’s most iconic automat restaurant chain, Horn & Hardart. To top that, Mel Brooks also contributes a new original song for the film titled “At the Automat,” which could find the 95-year-old EGOT winner back at the Academy Awards with another nomination!
