Fresh food grows in Brooklyn
Folks in Bed-Stuy are fighting to keep their farm. Bed-Stuy Farm, once a neighborhood garbage dump, was transformed into an urban oasis that produces over 7,000 lbs of fresh food every year, helping feed more than 4,000 people a month through the Brooklyn Rescue Mission.
The Farm is a source of community pride that has inspired neighborhood greening, backyard food gardening and food pantry agriculture projects. Now, the project is threatened by development . To get a good look at what they're up against watch The Garden. The Oscar-nominated film tells a similar story in South Central, Los Angeles.
Check out Kerry Truman's post about Bed-Stuy Farm to learn more and help save the Brooklyn farm by signing this petition because everybody from the penthouse to the projects deserves fresh, affordable grub.
Bed-Stuy Farm opened the Malcolm X Farmer's Market July 10th and keep it running through early November.

Breathless... (the movie)
Breathless - San Francisco, CA - June 2009
Jean-Luc Godard's 1961 debut feature, Breathless, is among the premiere films of the French New Wave. It was shot entirely with a hand-held camera and Godard had no permission to shoot on any of the film's Paris locations. The film is full of the exciting angst of the early 1960's when revolution seemed imminent and heady ramblings ruled young discourse.
Jean-Paul (Michel Poiccard) is a Bogart-obsessed thief full of bravado. Jean (Patricia Franchini) is the American beauty he can't shake. Both harbor some deep questioning driven by innocence turning to experience.
We caught the 50th Anniversary Restoration last night at Film Forum. The theater started in 1970 as a screening room for independent films. Now it's the only non-profit cinema in New York City. Their three screens are dedicated to American independent and foreign art films, but classics, genre works, festivals and directors’ retrospectives claim the screens from time to time.

Breathless is beautiful and perfect in every way. I want to watch it in that hole-in-the-wall theater a thousand times.
