Greenpoint Community Meeting Tomorrow!
Wednesday, Mar. 21, 6:30 PM
Warsaw, 261 Driggs Ave.
An open invitation to Greenpoint residents to discuss how to use the ExxonMobil environmental community-benefits settlement. An important meeting for artists, designers, and young advocates in particular to contribute ideas and be part of imagining the future of the neighborhood.
Think of sites that could be transformed and ways of using the money that could benefit sustainability, connectivity, urban design quality, and help build a better neighborhood.
Let's stick around and have a beer after, or head over to Lomzynianka for blintzes and borscht.
In attendance: NY State Representatives, Enviro-Sciences Engineering ("ESE": the independent community outreach
consultant), and the Greenpoint Community Advisory Panel ("CAP").

Journey Into Darkness
Journey Into Darkness: Films by Kerry Laitala
March 10, 7 pm
FREE
Arts@Renaissance (former Greenpoint Hospital)
2 Kingsland Ave.Basement Level
Using techniques gleaned from early cinema and animation, San Francisco-based filmmaker Kerry Laitala's work is a kaleidoscopic array of imagery and optical alchemy. Ranging from hand-made films to performances, installations and sculptural works, her projects explores cinema's relationship to sex and death, illness and illusion, lies and lyricism. On March 10th, at the former Greenpoint Hospital, Laitala will present Journey into Darkness, films with medicine and madness as a theme. The program includes Secure the Shadow..., a "meditation on disintegration and mortality" using Victorian era medical photography; Out of the Ether, a dizzying exploration of institutions and infection; Awake but Dreaming, an uncanny, alchemical constellation of image and sound made and processed in a former youth prison.
Laitala writes: Experimental film encourages the viewer to engage with and have a dialogue with the screen. Like pieces of a puzzle the viewer is encouraged to actively participate with what they see on an intellectual level. But why does a film need to be understood or explained? It only needs to be experienced as one would experience a painting or sculpture.
This is a rare East Coast visit from a regular participant in the New York Film Festival and Rotterdam International Film Festival!
