The Brooklyn Arts Council’s 38th International
Film and Video Festival continues this weekend with screenings
at the Brooklyn Museum’s Cantor Auditorium, on May 8, from noon
to 6 pm.
The series, which coincides with the museum’s "Open House:
Working in Brooklyn" exhibition – a survey of the borough’s
art scenes, will spotlight more than 20 short works and two longer
documentaries by Brooklyn-based film and video artists.
A still from Jacqui Sutton and Evelyn Badia’s 35-minute "Say
What? (Adventures in Life, Love and Language)" is pictured

The second film festival screening at the museum, "Independent
Film and Video Artists," will be June 19. The screenings
are free with museum admission: $6, $3 seniors and students with
valid ID. The Brooklyn Museum is located at 200 Eastern Parkway
at Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights. For a festival schedule,
