documentaries about New York Mets fans, The Cinema of Transgression, Indian Larry, Horror Film TV Hosts, Cult filmmakers, Coney Island Circus Sideshows Scott Baker!, The History of Vaudeville, Circus Amok, the amazing 1977 documentary Coney Island Cyclone plus more!

A special Screening of The Warriors!, Horror films, a hip hop program, music videos, animated films, dramas, experimental films, films shot at Coney Island, comedys, family films!

There are no films yet about the Coney Island redevelopment drama, but you that's coming in future years given the number of documentarians shooting footage this year. The entire schedule can be found by clicking here and you can go here to buy tickets.
