Producer\/editor\/actor Sophie Takal, and writer\/director\/actor Lawrence Michael Levine, screen their award-winning independent feature Gabi on the Roof in July<\/strong><\/em>. A portrait of young New York and the misguided hopefuls who can’t afford to live there but do anyway, the film is an edgy, character-driven ensemble comedy about ex-girlfriends, sibling rivalry and whipped cream set in a city that’s constantly in flux.<\/p>\n Jon Alpert is a winner of three Primetime Emmy awards, eleven News & Documentary Emmy awards, one National Emmy for Sports Programming, four Columbia DuPont awards and a Peabody Award.

He has been called a ‘scuzzmeister,’ ‘a virtuoso of grunge,’ and far worse. He tells violent and vulgar stories and, amidst the gore, often asks the deepest religious or moral questions. Answers are never provided.”<\/em> (www.Anthology.com<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n Some of his films include The Bad Lieutenant<\/strong><\/em> and <\/strong>Pallbearers<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n Ken Kelsch<\/strong>.

Kelsch has shot all Ferrara’s films, and credits include features, documentaries and televisions series.<\/p>\n Since 1981, the annual Black Maria Film + Video Festival, which takes its name from that of the world’s first motion picture studio built by Thomas Edison in 1893, has been an international juried competition and award tour, and has been fulfilling its mission to advocate, exhibit and reward cutting-edge works from independent film and video makers. The festival is known for its national public exhibition program, which features a variety of bold contemporary works drawn from the annual collection of 50 or more award-winning films and videos. Excerpts will be shown from the 2011 Black Maria Film + Video Tour.<\/p>\n Back by popular demand, this event features a marathon of documentary and animated shorts nominated for this year’s academy awards in their respective categories.
