The Northwest Film Center presents Los Sures, a documentary about a poor, underserved neigh-
borhood in New York City, and the response ilms that were generated in 2013 as gentriication has
changed the community almost beyond recognition.
Changing Neighborhood Dynamics
As Portland wades through is-
sues of housing affordability and
displacement, the subject gets
a timely look at the NW Film
Center in the presentation of Los
Sures, a documentary that looks at
a neighborhood in New York City
that has changed almost beyond
recognition.
Comprised of predominantly
working-class Puerto Rican and
Dominican residents, Los Sures
in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn,
was in the early 1980s one of the
poorest, most underserved neigh-
borhoods in New York City, over-
come by gangs, drugs, crime, and
the many other travails of a mod-
ern American neighborhood in the
late 20th century.
In
2013,
Brooklyn-based
Uniondocs commissioned several
response ilms, a handful of which
will screen as part of this larger
program on Monday, April 25 at 7
p.m. at the Portland Art Museum.
Tickets are $9 general and $8 for
studens and seniors. For more in-
formation, visit nwilm.org.
