The Rink - Sarah Friedland and Ryan Joseph (Elmhurst, New York)
This vibrant documentary tells the story of Newark’s Branch Brook Park Roller Rink, one of the few remaining urban rinks of its kind, and the roller skaters who call it home. Upon first glance, the exterior resembles a fallout shelter, as a concrete structure nestled in the pit of a hill bordered by public housing and a highway; however, the streamers and interior lights are cheerily reminiscent of ‘70s roller discos. Serving diverse communities within Newark, the rink is a microcosm of the city that surrounds it, and serves as a vital cultural space for a city that is seeking to forge a new narrative for itself. 2012; 52 min. With an introduction and Q+A session by directors Sarah Friedland and Ryan Joseph!
