The 2013 “Scene: Brooklyn” screening series commemorating the first anniversary of Superstorm Sandy was a huge success, with 36 films and media projects screening over four nights at three terrific venues.
Take a look at the event photos!
We would like to extend a special thanks to our partner venues: Made in NY Media Center by IFP, UnionDocs, and Galapagos Art Space as well as Angela Hardenburg and Endless Picnic for tech and DVD mastering and Erik Fuller and Sam Cornwall for photography.
At our “Shorts Slam” on Monday October 28 – our sole night dedicated to impressive non-Sandy narrative and animated work – the short drama “A Wedding Day,” directed by Anthony Nicolau/ written by Sara Gozalo, was voted the Audience Choice Award winner.
