There's some cross-exposure with a NewFilmmakers documentary series about Coney Island this Wednesday night.  There are a few shorts that kick off the night at 6pm, including Bally Master, followed by a dramatic shorts series about New York which features a film called Blindness (...and just in case you have forgotten what blindness means, the film's website is there to help).  At 8:15pm, the comedy shorts begin, which include Tesla and the Bellboy (just 4 minutes) and Sons Of a Guns (24 minutes).  There's eleven films combined in all three programs, so you should go to their site to see the exact schedules and titles.

The feature that is being shown tomorrow night is called Love in the Age of Dion, and it's about a man who, while enduring a life in L.A. that is ripe with rocky marriages and shady neighborhoods, visits his old stomping grounds back in the Bronx with an old friend from "the 60s".  Apparently when he's there, he begins to experience things that change his life in "unexpected ways".  It's a few years old, it's 85 minutes, it's video, and it's directed by Philip Cioffari.  Check it out.
