TUESDAY 3/25 Bootleg Cinema presents: Our RoboCop at 8pm. Bootleg Cinema presents RoboCop like you’ve never seen him! Connected through various filmmaking channels, Our Robo Cop was created by 50 filmmakers (both amateur and professional) from Los Angeles and New York who have split the original RoboCop into individual pieces and have remade the 1987 Paul Verhoeven classic in response to the recent Hollywood re-imagining. This is not necessarily a shot-for-shot remake, but a scene-for-scene retelling.

“My brain makes drugs to keep me slow,
A hilarious joke for some dead pharaoh.
But now, not even the masons know,
What drug will keep night from coming.”-Neko Case
After a successful opening night on Thursday, September 19, the third annual Greenpoint Film Festival wrapped on Sunday. Just as she has done in the previous two years, Festival Director Rosa Valado was able to tap into the creativity of our neighborhood as well as bring together a diverse group of films and filmmakers from around the world. In addition to screening a number of amazing films, the Greenpoint Film Festival played host to a number of spirited discussions and panels.
The festival had the prerequisite narrative and documentary categories in addition to highlighting micro-budget/DIY films, experimental films, and offered a music video screening and discussion. The closing day, Sunday, featured an extensive environmental film and discussion series in addition to animated and performance films.
Now in it’s third year, the Greenpoint Film Festival has doubled in size and scope. The jury-selected films are arranged into these categories: Animation, Narrative, Documentary, Experimental, and Environmental. The selection of films were juried by five respected individuals in the film world.
Opening Reception: Thursday 9/19 @ 6pm – 67 West Street. Tickets and info here.
