THE END Was Just the Beginning0
Posted In Events
On July 17th, 2009, the Music Hall of Williamsburg hosted our end of season party titled THE END. A tradition in its 3rd year, each member of the collective made 2 minute films which screened for an audience over 400 strong. Varied in style and genre, the shorts presented a wide response to the theme of finality. More than just a film screening, the event included an apocalyptic performance by the Midnight Masses. Afterwards DJ Barney Iller kept bodies grooving until late in the night.
Ben Donnellon, one of the collective’s leaders, reflected on the night. “It’s amazing to see our end of season parties grow. In 2007, we threw our first party at a small art gallery in Bushwick to raise funds for our weekly meeting space. Attendance to our semi-annual screenings have since quadrupled and we are thrilled to see all the great press coverage.”
Many of the Brooklyn based music and nightlife blogs listed the event with special write-ups appearing in TimeOut New York, Tribeca Film Festival blog, and The Daily News. A number of the films were picked by curators to screen at other New York screening events.
Stay tuned for another artfully themed bash of films and music at the conclusion of our next season in February 2010.
