Don't Call it a Comeback: Anthony Weiner's Doomed Mayoral Campaign

Anthony Weiner is surrounded by media while courting voters outside a Harlem subway station a day after announcing he will enter the New York mayoral race on May 23, 2013 in New York City.

Directors Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg talk about their film “Weiner,” which details the failed NYC mayoral campaign of former congressman Anthony Weiner. The film follows Weiner as he tries to make a comeback following the fallout of his Twitter scandal and his subsequent resignation. His mayoral campaign takes a sharp dive when he’s forced to admit to new sexting allegations.

"Weiner" opens Friday, May 20th at the IFC Center (323 Avenue of the Americas). For a complete list of showtimes and Q&As with the directors, visit the IFC Center website.
