RELEVANT LINKS We discussed several organizations in this episode. Here are some of those links. Screen Slate: a daily comprehensive list of repertory, independent, microcinema and gallery screenings and cinematic events in New York City. It aims to raise awareness and accessibility of moving image culture, bridge cinema and art worlds and illuminate new creative directions. Flaherty NYC series: a seasonal screening series which presents innovative and groundbreaking films, followed by discussions with the makers on aesthetics, the production process, and the challenges of the work. Flaherty NYC stands apart from other NYC screening series, in that it exposes audiences to filmmakers whose work deserve more attention, as well as more discourse. New York Film & Video Council (NYFVC): New York’s oldest continuously operating non-profit serving the independent film, video and electronic arts community. For over 70 years, a haven for lively discussions, panels and screenings. Spectacle Theater: a community screening space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, established and staffed entirely by volunteers. Programming encompasses overlooked works, offbeat gems, contemporary art, radical polemics, live performance and more. Adam Schartoff calls it "Marginalized cinema at its finest".
