Los Sures
Directed by Diego Echeverria
1984, 60min
In the early 1980s, Diego Echeverria took a 16mm camera into the streets of South Williamsburg, then a primarily Puerto Rican neighborhood and one of the city’s poorest, most crime-ridden areas. Still, amidst the urban blight, Echeverria finds a thriving street culture in which music, breakdancing, and graffiti abound. Los Sures is both an invaluable record of pre-gentrification Brooklyn and an ode to a community’s resilience.
Of Memory & Los Sures
Directed by Andrew Parsons & Laurie Sumiye
2011, 14min
This BAMcinemaFest 2012 selection is a hybrid animated documentary film featuring oral histories of longtime residents of Los Sures.
