IMA student Alexander Mallis’ short film

IMA student Alexander Mallis’ short film, The Dentist, is playing in a program of shorts this Sunday at DOCNYC.

The Dentist takes us beneath the sterile waiting room and nervous patrons, below Novocain and root canals, hidden from reclining chairs and squirming patients, to a decades-old secret underworld graced by adventurers from across the globe. The gatekeeper, an eccentric dentist, recounts the history of his practice above and passion below the floorboards.

Sunday, November 6th.
11:00am

IMA students Natasha & Tamara’s documentary on TWN

Congrats to IMA students Natasha Florentino & Tamara Gubernat “REZONING HARLEM ”
is available on Third World News Reel

REZONING HARLEM follows longtime members of the Harlem community as they fight a 2008 rezoning that threatens to erase the history and culture of their legendary neighborhood and replace it with luxury housing, offices, and big-box retail. A shocking exposé of how a group of ordinary citizens, passionate about the future of their treasured community, are systematically shut out of the city’s decision-making process, revealing New York City’s broken public review system. This film provides a behind the scenes view of how policy affects gentrification, resulting in homogenous neighborhoods devoid of character.
