 NEW YORK June 2006: It’s another lazy summer for Staten Island, the least known of New York City’s five boroughs. There’s nothing much to look forward to, except the weekend trips to the beach, hanging out in the mall, or going to see mainstream films at the movie theaters. If one really wants to do something, it is best to take the ferry into Manhattan to see the plays, museums and other forms of culture that Staten Island lacks.
But not any more. There’s something new starting on the Island, and it might just change the way it is seen by its residents and outsiders. It’s called the Staten Island Film Festival, a chance for independent filmmakers to showcase their talents. It also a chance for Staten Island to showcase itself to a world that barely knows it.
