SFNY brings BK-to-the-BAY with the Bay Area premiere of Brooklyn Boheme, a feature documentary by Diane Paragas and Nelson George, at the historic Clay Theatre in the Fillmore District of San Francisco. Brooklyn Boheme pays homage to the black arts movement that flourished in Fort Greene, Brooklyn throughout the mid-80′s and 90′s. Brooklyn Boheme speaks to experiences familiar to many artistically significant neighborhoods across the US – the formation of a thriving community in the wake of inequality and marginalization, the creative potential of those communities, and the effects of gentrification as a result of various forms of urban renewal. Writer, historian, director, and Brooklyn resident Nelson George will be in attendance for an intimate discussion following the film.
