Ocularis at Ten
Our show of shows!
Founded in June, 1996 as a rooftop film series catering to local audiences in North Brooklyn, Ocularis has since evolved into a weekly cinema, a producer of collaborative film/video work and a summer open-air screening series. Now, in honor of that highly eventful decade, we’ve gathered ten individuals—founders, board members, directors, et al—who have helped make Ocularis what it is today. Each will present a film or video that they’ve found representative of their time with the organization, along with an anecdote or two. And the results, at once hit parade and history lesson, are to sure to make for one of our most memorable evenings yet.
