KENTLER EVENTS:




Wednesday, June 18, 7:30pm

The second
Red Hook Screening
of
A HOLE IN A FENCE

A documentary by D.W. Young

A HOLE IN A FENCE, D.W. Young's entertaining and insightful look at the
changing landscape of Red Hook, Brooklyn,
will screen on June 18th at the
Kentler International Drawing Space, 353 Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn NY 11231.
Admission is free and the show begins at 7:30PM.

Chronicling the shifting fortunes of a unique abandoned lot in Red Hook, Brooklyn, A HOLE IN A FENCE explores the complicated issues of development, class and identity facing the city's most populous borough.

It's the story of a vanished homeless community and the young architect who documented it; of a real urban farm run by local kids amidst a landscape of industrial decay; of young graffiti writers losing their stomping grounds; of the arrival of a controversial IKEA megastore; of a photographer's vision of nature's renewal; of the doomed struggle to save a rare part of the neighborhood's working waterfront; and of a filmmaker's discovery of a fleeting, hidden world on the other side of a rusty old fence.
