Third World Newsreel (TWN), "an alternative media arts organization that fosters the creation, appreciation and dissemination of independent film and video by and about people of color and social justice issues", is hosting a program at the Museum of Modern Art on Feb 14 & 16 called "New Work from New Filmmakers". Amongst those filmmakers is friend Corinne Manabat, whose short film Excuse My Gangsta Ways details the life of Davina Wan, a woman experiencing a difficult transition from a life of gangs to a life of "normalcy".

We had the pleasure of watching EMGW at a summer screening at Sulu Series, and Corinne made that awesome elections short "The Reminder" that we posted in the late Fall. Tickets are $10 adult and $6 student, but you can exchange a museum admission ticket for a film ticket, if you hassle the Lobby Information Desk (Target Free Fridays excluded).
