2012 FLAGSHIP SERIES RECAP
Scene: Brooklyn’s May 2012 series showcased a bevy of local filmmaking talent and featured premiere screenings, exciting Q&As, a filmmaker meet up with prizes, a mixed-media performance/installation, a master class and an exclusive sneak peek at a brand new feature documentary.
Our opening night screening of new and local narrative and documentary short films was sold out and packed to the rafters. Our closing night showcase of local experimental and animated works at Galapagos was a full house as well, and wrapped up with the announcement of our audience choice award-winners, selected by filmmakers, friends and fans.
Congratulations to our Audience Choice Award-winners:
• Narrative Short: Antonia Grilikhes-Lasky for "Try a Little Harder"
• Documentary Short: Meghan Sims for "We Do Too"
• Animated/experimental: Joseph Bennett for "Bedtime Stories with Abraham Willosby"
In between the shorts slams, Scene: Brooklyn presented an impressive audio-visual experience by Peter Burr and Friends, in the Archway at the Manhattan Bridge; a preview screening of "Redlegs," the feature debut of Brooklyn-based critic, programmer and filmmaker Brandon Harris, at reRun Gastropub Theater; an exclusive sneak peek screening of "The Iran Job," a remarkable new feature documentary by filmmaking team Till Schauder & Sara Nodjoumi; and a master class with longtime Brooklyn-based documentarian and experimentalist Jem Cohen.
