'Right Now I Want to Scream’ Feature Documentary
The film was produced using participatory practices in collaboration with mothers whose children have been killed during police operations in Complexo do Alemão, Manguihos, Complexo de Maré; and Salgueira. Janaina Matos, founding member of a group of Brazilian police officers campaigning against militarization, states that in Brazil ‘it has become normal’ for police ‘to enter a territory and treat the population as if it were a war enemy…Brazil’s security policy is not aiming to guarantee security for everyone, but just for an elite while oppressing the other larger number of the population, especially the black people.’

'Kubota's Kimonos: History On Silk' Documentary
Kubota's story begins with his time as a prisoner of war in the USSR during WWII. Beautifully produced reenactments capture this difficult yet pivotal period of his life. While locked up in his cell, Kubota saw a vision of the Siberian sunset which would later inspire his lifelong project, ‘The Symphony of Light,’ a series of kimonos that would illustrate the grandeur of the universe.
This fascinating documentary describes the complex and intricate craft of Tsujigahana - a traditional technique of decorating fabric. Since there were no instructions of how to recreate this age-old process, Kubota spent decades experimenting to form his own version of the method called Itchiku Tsujigahana.

MAS MAN – THE COMPLETE WORK Documentary, 1 hr 28 min. | Directed by Dalton Narine “The visuals in this film are incredible... Mas Man turned our screening into one big party.” — The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival "I don't think anyone could do Minshall justice without televising him live for a few decades, but the film comes close. I loved it!" — Trinidad Guardian OFFICIAL SELECTION: Art of Brooklyn Film Festival 2012 Mas Man – The Complete Work' explores Peter Minshall’s leap from designer in the Trinidad Carnival to an artistic director of the opening ceremonies for three Olympic Games. Minshall was instrumental in staging the 1992 Barcelona Games, Atlanta (1996) and Salt Lake City (2002), for which he won an Emmy. Olympic Games producers found Minshall’s genius for orchestrating grand spectacles in the Trinidad Carnival, where his themes usually played on good and evil. His platform has been “the Mas,” which he brings to the streets as theatre, or dancing mobiles, way beyond the horizon of masquerade. The film has won awards at festivals in Trinidad & Tobago, New York City, Las Vegas, Ohio, Los Angeles, Switzerland, Indonesia and South Africa. It has been screened on six continents – USA, Canada, Argentina, England, Wales, Ireland, Holland, Poland, Greece, India, China, Thailand, Africa, Australia. OFFICIAL SELECTION: 2012 Art of Brooklyn Film Festival Filmmaker Dalton Narine was born in Trinidad and attended Brooklyn College. Rent Mas Man for $3.99 only on BKOD — online and on Roku!
Experimental/Avant-Garde, 12 min. Directed by Kyle Parsons SHE is about a girl (Holly Horner) who goes through her life doing everyday things. Running errands, washing dishes, watching movies. But no matter how normal and everyday her life may be, she's still under the eyes of strangers. She doesn't know they're observing her, but they are. Through time though, she begins to feel the weight of their gaze upon her. These strangers are unaware of the impact they're having on her. They are eventually confronted with the reality that their opinions and judgments don't exist in a vacuum, even as strangers. SHE was created by a Brooklyn-based crew. OFFICIAL SELECTION: 2015 Art of Brooklyn Film Festival
Experimental/Avant-Garde, 38 min. Created by Mike Rader The task of painting a portrait is given to an artist who unearths more about himself in the undertaking than expected. The painting takes 'The Man' through a whimsical and dark journey of self exploration as he attempts to trust himself. In the self contained space of the artists studio, 'The Man' finds himself in a fantastical bucolic environment in which to nurture himself. By using the Japanese television show Ultraman as a catalyst, artist Mike Rader chaperons himself through the creative process and exposes how equally difficult it is to navigate life. Mike Rader lives and works in Brooklyn, New York and his art has been shown in galleries and museums across the country. WINNER: Vanguard Award — The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival 2012
Comedy, 16 min. | Directed by Brooklyn's Matt Cascella If America is the land of opportunity, New York City is the roaring combine, harvesting the dreams of its inhabitants, separating the successful and spitting out the rest.

As others attempt to claw their way out of the fray toward singularity, Nate, unburdened by ambition or goals, calls in sick to work and spends the day loafing around the city, a bum among the bustle. OFFICIAL SELECTION: 2015 Art of Brooklyn Film Festival http://www.brooklynondemand.com/bumdom.html
