Battle For Brooklyn

On June 3rd, 2011, the Brooklyn Film Festival will present the United States Premiere of "Battle For Brooklyn" as its opening night film. This screening has been called "the perfect combination of movie and event" by the NY Daily News. It will take place at the Brooklyn Heights Cinema at 8pm, followed by an Opening Night Party at the powerHouse Arena in Dumbo.
...As the Director of Programming for the Brooklyn Film Festival and as a documentary photographer living in Brooklyn, I've had the privilege of getting to know many of the Brooklynites who battled against the Atlantic Yards. "Battle For Brooklyn," however, is a film that all residents of Brooklyn should be proud of, as it fairly presents the opposing sides of the issue and captures the passion that Brooklynites have for their borough, no matter where they stand on the Atlantic Yards.
