Showcasing six new plays from young playwrights ready to break through stigma, BRAINFOOD asks big questions, but is not about finding answers. It’s about having a conversation, and we’ve got room at the table.

LOS SURES, SCREENING AND COMMUNITY DISCUSSION
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9TH, 2016
7PM - 10PM
South Williamsburg used to be quite a different neighborhood than it is today. Nicknamed "Los Sures" (The Southside) by the Puerto Rican and Dominican immigrants who called it home, this community was one of the poorest in New York and plagued by drugs and violence in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
In 1984, director Diego Echeverria and his crew visited Los Sures. Shooting on 16mm film, Echeverria filmed and documented five different stories over the course of 10 months. His resultant documentary, Los Sures, was largely inaccessible —that is, until now.
SUSPIRIA: A UNIQUE HYBRID SCREENING EVENT

Furthermore, the classical music ensemble The Nouveau Classical Project will perform, taking inspiration from the film's original score by the Italian band Goblin.
Thanks to everyone who came out for our premiere cultural event.
