Offensive Fences, the 7th annual MoRUS Film Festival, starts tomorrow night



The annual film festival by the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) has a slightly different feel this year. Per their invite: "Unlike our past festivals, this one is an art show, a dance party and a film festival!"

Here are highlights of the 7th edition, titled Offensive Fences, which begins tomorrow (Thursday!) evening ... descriptions via the EVG inbox...

On Thursday, Sept. 26 join MoRUS at La Plaza Cultural Garden on 9th Street and Avenue C at 7 p.m. for a screening of “The River and the Wall.” In addition, there will be three visual art installations on display, Ryan Legassicke’s immersive sculptures will be set up in in the garden in the screening area. Andrew Sturm will introduce the group exhibition “elcatsbO Obstacle” with Jill Marie Holslin. The exhibit is available for viewing at MoRUS through Oct. 26.

On Friday, Sept. 27, MoRUS will present a selection of shorts starting at 7:30 p.m. at the community garden on 6th Street and Avenue B followed by a dance party at the Museum.

The parks department is spending tons of money on the north end(read Harlem) of Central Park. Why? It's called Park Inequality. Yeah... Right. So Hey... Parks Dept. What about TSP. The place is turning into a dump. The worst bathroom... the lack of plantings... the unfinished reconstruction... the pock-marked roads... the mass amount of flies? Talk about inequality!!!!
