7 minutes in Coney
Melinda Maclean, Astoria NY, Short, 7:00, Brooklyn Premiere!
I wanted to capture the over the top animated and dream like quality of Coney Island itself and the people that go to enjoy the boardwalk and rides. I imagine that late at night when everyone has gone home - all the faces and forms of the rides and games come to life - lights pulsing and blinking, steel and wood creaking and popping as the cars swoop over the impossible curves, the ghoulish variations of Tillie, the smiling face, laughing into the darkness of the Atlantic - what does Coney Island dream about?

A short historical documentary about legendary Yellow submarine in Coney Island Creek. Many people know the song performed by Beatles, but only a small amount of them know, where that submarine is now.
Dame Lo
Brian Korlofsky, Philadelphia, PA, Music Video, 5:00
This is a bizarre and psychedelic vision from the standpoint of video artist System D-128 as he travels the New York subway on the D train to & from Coney Island, He bumps into a newsstand that's selling historietas perversas (adult Mexican comics) He begins skimming through them and one of the stories comes to life. In one hand, Narco cinema with girls/gangsters/guns cliqua, and in the other, New Mexican cinema with sex, violence and esoteric fun with its cohorts of ghosts and spirits hanging in the streets, haunting all those characters.
Lost in Coney Island
