As vaguely promised, here are the June screenings for Ed Halter and Thomas Beard’s Light Industry space in Brooklyn. Screenings are held almost every Tuesday. In June the last Tuesday of the month will be dark. But the previous three events will be so mind-blowing, audiences may need that extra week to recover.

And since I haven’t done this before, here’s the general lowdown: Each week, Ed and Thomas invite a filmmaker, historian, critic, curator, artist, etc. to present a night of experimental, avant-garde and/or underground films. This month, each night is being presented by a filmmaker/film artist, but not necessarily of their own films. They are:
