Why It's FilmBuff
From looking back to Greenwich Village in the 60’s to Chicago in the 20’s, we’re excited to see what influences our tastes. Through Brooklyn Boheme, Nelson George examines the artists who created the movement that began in Fort Green, Brooklyn. Before the hipsters and gentrification of Brooklyn, artists like Spike Lee used Brooklyn to communicate their point of view and inspire a generation. Brooklyn Boheme shows us the significance of Fort Green and what a neighborhood can mean in cultivating cultural influence worldwide.
