Brooklyn on Film, 1899-2007: Free Screening at the BHS

The Brooklyn Historical Society are putting on a free screening tomorrow (Thursday) night at 7pm. It sounds excellent: "Films from the earliest days of cinematic technology, including the Edison Studios motion picture records of Brooklyn in the 1890s, and Sarah Bernhardt addressing a crowd in Prospect Park in 1917, will be shown. The screening will also include short documentaries about Brooklyn’s diverse neighborhoods and people. One of which, Brooklyn: Among the Ruins directed by Suzanne Wasserman, introduces audiences to Brooklyn born and bred Paul Kronenberg. Paul is a 60 year-old subway buff who built a life-size replica of a 1930s motorman's subway cab in his tiny bedroom in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn."
