Weekly Film Screenings

Tonight marks the launch of a


free weekly film screening with both local and international film makers. Every Sunday in January, doors open at 7pm and the reels start spinning at 7:30. Tonight's opening sounds fantastic:

An evening of shorts filmed at Ace Hotel New York with Massify and Killer Films, followed by "Cold Weather" by Rooftop films - plus a Moscow Mule drink special.

It's taking place all January. You're sure to see some amazing films. For more information check out their calendar.

Location:Flushing Ave,Brooklyn,United States

Shifting the Gaze

"Shifting the Gaze" is another great exhibit at the Jewish Museum. It's a feminist exhibit that, in the words of the curator:

...explores how social revolutions take place not only in the realm of ideas and politics, but in style and form.

You can find the exhibit on the second floor. They have some really incredible feminist artists like Joan Semmel, Louise Fishman, and Melissa Meyer.

Miriam Schapiro's "Fanfare" from 1958 was my favorite piece:

Don't forget the Jewish Museum is free on Saturdays!
