Updated: Just a few more chances to see 1980s East Village art-scene documentary 'Make Me Famous'

Updated July 6: See below for more screening dates.

We've mentioned "Make Me Famous" several times (like here and here) ... the documentary tells the story of the 1980s downtown art scene through the lens of painter Edward Brezinski.

   

There are a few more screenings in NYC (and it is well worth your time and the effort to go to one of these theaters...)

• July 2, 8 p.m., at Roxy Cinema, 2 Avenue of the Americas, Cellar Level

• July 2, 2:45 p.m.,  and July 3, 7 p.m., at New Plaza Cinema, 35 W. 67th St.

Follow the film's Instagram account for updates.

And read an interview with director Brian Vincent and producer Heather Spore Kelly, at The Moveable Feast. Here's another piece via The Village Voice.

    I'm looking forward to seeing this film, but wow—That Movable Feast article is UNREADABLE. Did Mayor Adams round up all the editors in NYC and have them exterminated?
