On Wednesday, February 4 at 7 p.m., The Maysles Cinema and BRIC Rotunda Gallery present "Rent Control: Brooklyn." The event at the Gallery will feature "documentaries and directors addressing the social and economic change transforming diverse cultural landscapes across Brooklyn." Being screened is Subprimed, a documentary that takes a look at the effect of the national foreclosure crisis on East New York, and Duke Riley Presents Paul Piers for Chanel, a video about the homeless people who lived in a Williamsburg warehouse and created a micro-industry out of found clothing, supplying area vintage stores and boutiques. A post-screening discussion with featured directors and artists will follow.
