Brooklyn's Beachfront Romance With Cinema Continues at the Coney Island Film Festival

Filmmakers, organizers and spectators found themselves colliding into one another at the Eldorado Auto Skooter rink on Surf Avenue.

The cultural geography of the region shapes all aspects of exhibition and programming.
