CINEMA Screen gems The Brooklyn Arts Council’s 38th International Film and Video Festival continues this weekend with screenings at the Brooklyn Museum’s Cantor Auditorium, on May 8, from noon to 6 pm. The series, which coincides with the museum’s “Open House: Working in Brooklyn” exhibition — a survey of the bor- ough’s art scenes, will spotlight more than 20 short works and two longer documentaries by Brooklyn-based film and video artists. A still from Jacqui Sutton and Evelyn Ba- dia’s 35-minute “Say What? (Adventures in (718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings May 8, 2004 Life, Love and Lan- guage)” is pictured at left. The second film festival screening at the muse- um, “Independent Film and Video Artists,” will be June 19. The screenings are free with museum ad- mission: $6, $3 seniors and students with valid ID. The Brooklyn Museum is located at 200 Eastern Parkway at Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights. For a festival schedule, call the Brooklyn Arts Council at (718) 625-0080 or visit the Web site Wong’s at www.brooklynartscouncil.org. — Lisa J.
