Free Film Screening! Reserve FREE Tickets to “The Sun Rises in the East” and Support Brownsville's Black-Owned Businesses.
In recognition of Black History Month the Pitkin Avenue BID is honoring Brownsville’s Black-owned Businesses at a FREE Film Screening event of the acclaimed documentary, “The Sun Rises in the East”. The film chronicles the birth, rise and legacy of The East, a pan-African cultural organization founded in 1969 by teens and young adults in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The film is produced and directed by Tayo Giwa and Cynthia Gordy Giwa, a husband-and-wife filmmaking team and the creators of Black-Owned Brooklyn.
This film screening is created as a part of the #BlackOwnedBrownsville initiative which supports Brownsville’s Black-Owned Businesses.
The BlackOwned Brownsville initiative is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).
There will be a live musical performance — sounds provided by musical phenomenon Phearnone — during the reception.
