The Brooklyn College Theater Department and
Pangaea Performance Ensemble Present

Derek Walcott's
Ti-Jean and His Brothers

Directed by Laura Tesman
 

A special theatre production that started as a class project and which became a wholly produced, written, directed and executed theatrical work, starting from a blank sheet of paper to a fully realized drama performed in front of a live audience.  Ti-Jean and His Brothers is the final and quite laudable result.

Brooklyn Center Cinema
and the Brooklyn College Film
in Association with
Overture Films Present

A Film by Antoine Fuqua
Brooklyn's Finest

Starring Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke and Wesley Snipes
Written by Michael C. Martin and Brad Caleb Kane.

On the Giant Screen and in breathtaking 6 Channel Total Surround MegaSound, the last film of the season is fittingly one that emerges from pages of writer and Brooklyite, Michael C. Martin.  Powerful and unflinching, the film immerses the viewer in the nether world -- some would call it a subculture of its own -- of police, drug dealers, detectives, and pimps.  How three of Brooklyn's Finest maneuver through the rules, some legitimate, some fabricated for their own sense of self-worth and some necessarily broken for their survival.  These three seemingly unconnected Brooklyn cops wind up at the same deadly location after enduring vastly different career paths.

Advisory: This film is Rated [R] by MPAA Rating Code due to bloody violence throughout, strong language, nudity, drug use, sexual content including simulated sex. For more about the MPAA Rating System, go to www.mpaa.org/ratings.   

 A Panavision Film Presented in
Ultra High Definition with Bausch & Lomb CinemaScope 55 Lenses
A Dolby Digital Release Presented in
6 Channel Total Surround MegaSound.

Friday, May 7, 2010 -  2pm Matinee Only
Walt Whitman Theatre
Admission is FREE

Richard Gere and Ethan Hawke in a hard-hitting study of ordinary beat cops faced with the dangers, frustrations and temptations that engulf them and impact their lives on a daily basis.
Wesley Snipes and Don Cheadel in Antoine Fuqua's BROOKLYN'S FINEST in a story that probes the gray areas of  legal and illegal, right and wrong and in the end, every man has a moment of truth.
