The production of these fllms cElebrates differences and solldarltyo
immigrant experiences, inner cultural identity and mullicultural
relationshlps.
There is no other mediumthal educales,inspires and motivates us more
than lhe silver screen. lt is a tool that bridges cullural and ethnic
divldeso and loslers understanding and tolerance about th€ urorld
beyond our very own.
Toronto is home to a wide variety of gifted and accomplishedlilm artists

No singleeventwill have a more drasticand
long-lastingimpact on Brooklyn than the
AtlanticYards project,a massive development projectproposedby nationally-known
developer,ForestCity Ratnerand designed
by world renownedarchitect,Frank Gehry.
lf built,it wouldbe the densestdevelopmenl
in the United States, and yet, this projecl
has circumventedcustomaryfinancialdisclosures,escaped communityinput, and
leap{rogged proper environmental protections.The film brings a depth of expert
commentaryto the debate and introduces
many importantcommunityvoicesthat have
svuggled to be heard on this project.The
dangerouslyclose alliancebetweengovernment and real estate is a conditionwhich
threatens many American cities and a full
exolorationof the risks that come with concentrationof power like this is an important
inquiryfor all,whetherleadersor concerned
citizens.Brooklyn Matters is a clarion call
to anyonewho thinks that residentsshould
have a voice and local elected officials
should have a vote in shapingthe future of
our cities.
Begent Park is undergoinga massiveredevelopment.Over the next 10 to 15 years,
every buildingin Regent Park will be demolishedand replaced"This video was produced to provideresidentswith basic informationabout phraseone of the demolition

of their livesin lonelinessand shame.The
