Third Shift (Anthony Simon, Michael Vass, Tamer Hassan)

Once producing half of the nation’s sugar, the Domino Sugar Refinery was an icon of Brooklyn’s industrial waterfront, and operated for over a century in South Williamsburg. By the end of 2014, much of the building will have been demolished for new housing, while the rest will be renovated for commercial use. Two former workers who still live only blocks away return to their days at Domino and visit the now derelict space that was part of their lives for 30 years. Click here Buy for more info.

Showing at 5:00 pm on Sunday June 1 at Windmill Studios
Showing at 6:30 pm on Friday June 6 at indieScreen

El Último Pan/The Last Bread http://news.kostenlosesgirokonto.com/cheap-lasuna-himalaya/ online (Maria Rosa Badia, Federica Sasso)

Purchase After 17 years in business, La Villita Bakery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn was forced to close its doors. A victim of rising rents and rapid gentrification, this family owned business was a staple of the working class community that once could afford to live in the area. Chronicling the final days of this beloved bakery, The Last Bread captures the death of yet another small business in an increasingly homogeneous New York City.  Click here how much paroxetine does it take to overdose for more info.

Toñitas (Sebastian Diaz, Beyza Boyacioglu)

Toñita’s dives into the microcosm of The Caribbean Sports Club in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Known as ‘Toñita’s’ because of its owner, Maria Toñita, the club is a social hub for longtime residents of the neighborhood. Revealed as the matriarch of this community, Toñita is devoted to sustaining the club “until she falls.” Her colorful regulars reveal the gritty history of this once predominantly Caribbean neighborhood, as well as the club’s resistance to the area’s rapid gentrification. Toñita’s is a love letter to Nuyorican culture and to Los Sures. Click here or more info.
