Kids’ Canvas is a space for kids in Bushwick Brooklyn, created by Silvia Tripoli. It is designed to indulge children’s need to play, foster creativity and to give a green light to fun for kids while allowing parents respite during the day. Silvia and her husband, the artist Tyrome Tripoli, converted his former studio into a colorful, welcoming, thought-provoking space. Many of Tyrome’s plastic constructions remain hanging from the ceiling or bursting forth from the walls. The space also has a slide and tunnel to encourage movement, and a reading nook under a canopy for quieter moments.
Presenting a hot 25th anniversary summer screening of CRIMEWAVE, Sam Raimi’s 1985 followup to EVIL DEAD. Written by his former roommates the Coen Brothers (cameo-ing in the event photo), CRIMEWAVE is an antic blood pudding of Three Stooges gags, pitch-black comedy, film noir and vaudevillian slapstick.
CRIMEWAVE is both Raimi and the Coens’ first trip into the world of big-time boffo filmmaking, and when the film was fiddled with by its backers, both halves shunned the end product. Hence CRIMEWAVE is not available on US DVD. Irregardless, it’s a must-see for fans of either ouvre; there’s not a frame of daylight between the overlapping visions, and several set pieces – especially revolving around Bruce Campbell’s character of Reynaldo “The Heel” – are delicious, juicy cinema carne. The movie screens with a classic short by Rene Laloux (FANTASTIC PLANET) and a brand-spanking new one: Mallory Lance’s action-packed SECRET OPS. Come sit in BFP’s cozy air-conditioned theatre and drink beer with us on a hot Wednesday night.

Its the Summer Solstice and you all know what that means.





This Saturday head to the great outdoors in Brooklyn for a special sunset and early evening get-down under the stars. MISTER SATURDAY NIGHT will be setting up shop in the alley, serving up cold beverages and chowing down with the good folks from Taccolada. The party starts at 6pm and runs to midnight, so bring an appetite and a thirst, and we’ll take care of you for the duration.
Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter are rocking the party as only they can, and their special guest Rick Wade, a man, who alongside Kenny Dixon Jr and Theo Parish pioneered the beautiful sounds of deep Detroit House, will make a rare Brooklyn appearance.
