Brooklyn’s Film Night Rolls in Red Hook

Red Hook screened last night with Brooklyn’s Film Night, framing NYC’s spring on March 23. Curator Liam Carter ran indie shorts as 200 watched, a $10 ticket show at a pier bar. It’s borough reels—pure BK vibe, screens hot. A kid gaped at twists; a pro quoted lines. ‘Brooklyn films—this is it,’ Carter says, dimming lights. The room turned cinema.

The night’s fresh—March 23’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing stools by 7 p.m. Carter’s a Gowanus cinephile; last night’s crowd hit max—projectors hummed. A latecomer nabbed a seat; popcorn crunched—NYC grit glowed. Shorts hit five—stories ruled. #BKFilmNight trended; Queens wants a reel.

Some griped—’Too artsy,’ sniped a newbie, dodging plots. A bulb flickered—fixed quick; tales held. A rival’s pitching a Williamsburg screen, splitting viewers. Still, 300 stayed—frames reigned. Red Hook’s never rolled so bold.

Carter’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a fest if spring bites. ‘NYC’s lens—this captures it,’ he says, packing reels. The night’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets art. It’s a film rush; catch the next. Bring chairs—screens call.
