NEW YORK -- HBO has acquired Ferry Tales, a documentary that goes behind the doors of the women's bathroom on the Staten Island Ferry in New York. Created by independent filmmaker Katja Esson (Vertical Traveler), Ferry is expected to air on HBO or sister cable channel Cinemax in 2005. Like other HBO-acquired documentaries, including Spellbound and Balseros, the film could be treated to a brief, limited theatrical run before coming to cable. Ferry, which is making its way along the festival circuit, examines a diverse group of women who congregate in the powder room aboard the commuter vessel each day. The documentary next appears at the InFACT Theatrical Documentary Showcase in Hollywood, which runs Aug. 22-28. HBO declined comment.
