On March 7, our friends at BRIC will be screening films produced during the 2017 BRIC Documentary Intensive Cohort. BRIC’s 2017 Documentary Intensive cohort learned the ins and outs of making a short, compelling film.
Each filmmaker will screen their documentary, followed by a special Q & A session with the audience. Screening will include the works of: Abdalla Hassan, Alfonso Siverls, Alice Obar, Astrudge Mclean, Farideh Sakhaeifar, Gregori Romenski, Hima B, Lyndon McCray, Meg Teckman-Fullard, Desire Wandan, Niko David, Pei Fong ‘Mol Mol’ Kuo and Phyllis E. Roker. Hosted by BRIC Media Education Specialist, Liam Billingham.
The topics of this year’s films include: a formerly homeless librarian now running a program in his library for the homeless, a dance documentary about the 1988 gassing of Halabja in Southern Kurdistan, the struggle of being an ‘alien of extraordinary ability (O-1 immigrant visa holder in the USA), feral cat colonies, and many more.
BRIC is the leading presenter of free cultural programming in Brooklyn, and one of the largest in New York City. They present and incubate work by artists and media-makers who reflect the diversity that surrounds us. BRIC programs reach hundreds of thousands of people each year.
