News from Underground
Media critic Mark Crispin Miller posts a letter from Battle for Brooklyn filmmaker Suki Hawley.
Today, the New York Daily News’s Michael O’Keeffe explained some of the parralels between Battle for Brooklyn and Occupy Wall Street. We’ve been waiting for someone to notice.
Now we are back in Brooklyn and back on screen tomorrow at Brooklyn Heights Cinema – 70 Henry St. at 7pm. It will run every Wednesday for the time being.
The recent West Coast tour was amazing, and we had engaged audiences and powerful q and a’s at every event.
About Battle, Charles Mudede wrote in the Stranger, “The documentary is fair and engaging from beginning to end.”
The film also got a rave in the Seattle Times.
Upcoming screenngs include:
– Pittsburgh at Three Rivers Film Festival on Saturday, November 12.
– Chapel Hill on Tuesday, November 22.
– Maysles Center in Harlem in December.
NoLandGrab: "Tomorrow" is now today, so check out Battle for Brooklyn tonight at the Brooklyn Heights Cinema.
