Looking at much of Manhattan today, you may be forgiven to forget the city’s spiritual past as a radical place filled with radical people. A film festival, I NRCHY: Subversion & the City, now in ts third year, aims to celebrate New York City’s legacy as a place of radical thought and action.
Running through August 8 at Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, the festival features shorts, documentaries, oral histories and features will pay homage to the spirit and legacy of anarchy in New York City, and explores “self-determined communities fighting for their own forms of power today.”
This translates to screenings of such films as Steven Fischler and Joel Sucher’s 1983 provocative and irreverent documentary Anarchism in America and Herbert J. Biberman’s controversial Salt of the Earth (1954), considered one of the most important films celebrating minorities and equality ever made.
All inclusive passes are available for $20.00. Admission to each individual screening requires a suggested donation of $5.00. Now through August 8.
