Closing Bell: On My Block Film Fest

The screening of the On My Block neighborhood filmmaking challenge takes place tomorrow evening in Dumbo. Fifteen films made in all five boroughs using only residents of the filmmaker’s block as cast and crew will be shown. Films range from one to five minutes in length and can be narrative or documentaries. Awards will be presented for Best Narrative Film, Best Documentary Film and Best In Show. The contest provides an opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other better through a collaborative process. “The finished films will live on past the festival end date as a source of community pride, and as a living map of the world’s most creative city,” said the organizers. The reception starts at 7 pm at the White Wave John Ryan Theater at 25 Jay Street. Tickets are $7 in advance or $9 at the door.
