Update #73: rooftop films
Battle for Brooklyn via Kickstarter
Things in Toronto have gone incredibly. There have been scores of positive reviews and tweets about the film- and we've been told that it's one of the top films in terms of audience reaction!!
As you know- the film will open the Brooklyn Film Festival on June 3rd.
It will then screen at Ft Greene Park on June 9th- as a collaboration between rooftop films and the Brooklyn Film Festival.
The following week it opens at Cinema Village and indie screen in Brooklyn.
Rooftop has long been a supporter of ours- and they do incredible work. I want to alert you to their awesome fundraiser- for very low cost you can get a pass to the entire summer of events- please consider helping them out.

The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill], Coming Soon: “Battle for Brooklyn,” the Atlantic Yards Documentary
Last weekend we saw another positive review for “Battle for Brooklyn,” a documentary directed by Local contributor Michael Galinsky and Suki Hawley. The online magazine Spacing Toronto reviewed the movie, which was just shown at Toronto’s Hot Docs festival. The documentary is a “compelling and important” portrayal of the fight “against the expropriation of people’s homes for private profit,” said the magazine, which covers urban landscape issues.
