CSV Center Haunted House Halloween Fundraiser

Thursday, September 28, 2006
A benefit to support Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center.
Tickets available at SmartTix.

In its third year, “Nightmare” will be bigger and better than ever! After sold-out engagements in 2004 and 2005, New York’s favorite haunted house is back with an all new edition. This fall, NIGHTMARE will possess ALL FIVE BOROUGHS with locations in Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. Presented by Psycho Clan, this sensational fright-fest, created and directed by downtown fearmeister Timothy Haskell, is poised to become the largest haunted event on the East Coast. NIGHTMARE combines urban horror with a visceral interactive theatricality to guarantee a unique and psychologically terrifying experience. Expect a chilling room-by-room encounter with the obsessions, anxieties and phobias that frighten New Yorkers most-borough by borough. NIGHTMARE makes visitors the stars of their own horror story, in a house that knows their worst fear- and forces them to face it.

Politics Con Sabor

Corrientes,

We’re excited to have completed Politics Con Sabor, a two-year project which highlights the history of Puerto Ricans and other Hispanics in New York State politics from the late 1800’s to the present.

The pilot program was funded by a grant from the New York State Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force. Your attendance at the screening is highly encouraged. You will be entertained and enlightened by the history of Hispanic political empowerment in New York State, a truly amazing era and an experience not to be missed.

The film screening will be held on Friday, September 15 at El Museo Del Barrio on 1230 Fifth Avenue at 104th Street. We will begin with a reception at 5:00PM.

FILIBERTO: ENTREVISTA CLANDESTINA Screening

Screening and discussion

Saturday, September 9, 8PM

White Park
East 106th Street
between Lexington and Third Avenues

Filiberto: Entrevista Clandestina is an interview with Filiberto Ojeda Rios by Puerto Rican reporter Daisy Sanchez. The screening marks the first anniversary of his death at the hands of the FBI last year on September 23, a date that also commemorates El Grito de Lares.

The interview was conducted while he was in clandestine, after cutting off an electronic ankle shackle. Ojeda was on trial for his alleged involvement in the Macheteros’ Wells Fargo armored truck robbery in Hartford Connecticut. Filiberto speaks for himself and the Macheteros on the colonial issues confronting Puerto Rico.

The interview aired uncut on Puerto Rican television and was the most watched television program in the history of Puerto Rico. This film is an excerpted version of that television program.

If it rains, the screening will take place at PRdream / MediaNoche, across the street from White Park, 161 East 106th Street, First Floor.
