It’s a perfect weekend for lovers of all things independent, with Rooftop Films bringing together indie bands, movies from the South by Southwest festival and a new documentary about the controversial makeover of the Atlantic Yards.
...On Friday Rooftop will also help open the Brooklyn Film Festival with “Battle for Brooklyn,” a documentary that follows the struggle of Daniel Goldstein and other residents to keep their homes during the development of the Atlantic Yards project. (8 p.m., $25 includes a pass to the opening night party; Brooklyn Heights Cinema, 70 Henry Street, at Orange Street. The festival continues through June 12 at various locations: $10, $25 for a four-film pass; 718-388-4306; brooklynfilmfestival.org.)
NoLandGrab: Tonight's U.S. premiere of Battle for Brooklyn is SOLD OUT. However, there are still plenty of opportunities to see the film locally over the coming month. Visit www.battleforbrooklyn.com for a list of screenings.
