Brooklyn Free Speech, a New York Emmy-nominated community television network, is very proud to announce B Scene— a free, film and TV viewing series that aims to amplify the voices of Brooklyn Free Speech producers at local hotspots throughout the borough.
The spring and summer 2016 season of the B Scene viewing series will be held at Weeksville Heritage Center, Brooklyn’s largest African-American cultural institution.
What happens when an artist is given the medium of television or film as a tool to create, capture, and share his or her creativity? Join us at Weeksville Heritage Center to experience media at its most creative. See the films and be part of a creative conversation that speaks to the works presented by artists who have been part of BRIC's Media Artist Fellowship.
