Kicking off IFP’s film week on Sunday evening, Rooftop Films will screen sneak previews of this years IFP Independent Filmmaker Lab works-in-progress, featuring Land of Opportunity, executive produced by Chicken & Egg Pics.
Land of Opportunity looks beyond the tragic event of Katrina to the continuing struggle to re-build New Orleans, and is among a series of documentary films considered by IFP as ‘next year's hot festival and indie releases.’ The evening will take place at the base of Brooklyn Bridge in Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park at 9pm with free admission.
