Sundance in Brooklyn
Sundance goes to BAM for the third time. The Brooklyn Academy of Music (pictured) will host 22 features and 36 shorts from the 2008 fest, including the New York premieres of Clark Gregg's adaptation of "Choke," Stacy Peralta's LA gang doc "Made in America," and Sacha Gervasi's doc "Anvil! The Story of Anvil," followed by a performance by the heavy metal group. Other New York preems include Marianna Palka's "Good Dick," and Neil Abramson's "American Son."
Nanette Burstein's doc "American Teen" will open the event.
They'll also be a reading of new work by Alicia Erian, writer of "Towelhead," new music by "Grey Gardens" composer Scott Frankel, and tags on building fronts by Graffiti Research Lab.
