Cinema Garden Party Outdoor Film Series: The Fits
A look into self-discovery, gender dynamics, peer pressure, and so much more, The Fits is a film you’ll see and never forget.
The Cinema Garden Party is an intimate, nighttime, outdoor film series serving as inter-neighborhood artistic alternatives for Bedford-Stuyvesant, instilling an enhanced film-centered sensibility, with empowering narratives, into the community—while also uniting neighbors into public and common spaces with entertainment not commonly provided.
The Fits
The Fits is a psychological portrait of 11-year-old Toni, a tomboy assimilating to a tight-knit dance team in Cincinnati’s West End. Enamored by the power and confidence of this strong community of girls, Toni eagerly absorbs routines, masters drills, and even pierces her own ears to fit in. When a mysterious outbreak of fainting spells plagues the team, Toni’s desire for acceptance is twisted.
A look into self-discovery, gender dynamics, peer pressure, and so much more, The Fits is a film you’ll see and never forget. Directed by Anna Rose Holmer and starring newcomer Royalty Hightower as Toni.
For questions about this event, please contact Kara J. Zimmerman at (347) 683-5991 or at firstquincygarden@gmail.com.

Cinema Garden Party Outdoor Film Series: ‘Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary’
Chasing Trane features never-before-seen Coltrane family home movies, footage of Coltrane and his band in the studio, along with hundreds of never-before-seen photographs and rare television appearances from around the world.
“Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary” is a rich and compelling portrait of a remarkable artist that reveals the critical events, passions, experiences, and challenges that shaped the life of John Coltrane and his revolutionary sounds.
Written and directed by John Scheinfeld [The U.S. vs. John Lennon; Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin’ About Him?)], and produced with the support of the Coltrane family and the record labels that collectively manage the Coltrane catalog, Chasing Trane features never-before-seen Coltrane family home movies, footage of Coltrane and his band in the studio (discovered in a California garage during production of the film), along with hundreds of never-before-seen photographs and rare television appearances from around the world.
The words of John Coltrane are spoken by superstar actor Denzel Washington, and his story is told by the musicians who worked with him (Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, Benny Golson, Jimmy Heath, Reggie Workman), musicians inspired by his fearless artistry and creative vision (Common, The Doors’ John Densmore, Wynton Marsalis, Carlos Santana, Wayne Shorter, Kamasi Washington), Coltrane’s children and biographers, and well-known admirers including President Bill Clinton and Dr. Cornel West.
This uplifting film reveals the critical events, passions, experience, and challenges that shaped Coltrane’s life and his revolutionary sounds. It is a story of demons and darkness, of persistence and redemption. Above all, it is the incredible spiritual journey of a man who found himself and, in the process, created an extraordinary, iconic body of work that transcends all barriers of geography, race, religion and age.

“WHOSE STREETS?”
directed by Sabaah Folayan and Damon Davis
Told by the activists and leaders who live and breathe this movement for justice, an unflinching look at the Ferguson uprising. When unarmed teenager Michael Brown is killed by police and left lying in the street for hours, it marks a breaking point for the residents of St. Louis, Missouri. Grief, long-standing racial tensions and renewed anger bring residents together to hold vigil and protest this latest tragedy. Empowered parents, artists, and teachers from around the country come together as freedom fighters. As the National Guard descends on Ferguson with military grade weaponry, these young community members become the torchbearers of a new resistance.
This event is a collaboration with POV, the award-winning independent non-fiction film series on PBS: www.pbs.org/pov.
The Cinema Garden Party is sponsored, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC), and the Neighborhood Grant for the Citizens Committee of New York City.
