Jonathan Glazer's follow-up to The Zone of Interest is a 38-minute documentary shot partly by London schoolkids who carried cameras into Abbey Road as musicians recorded a War Child charity album. The festival describes it as both exuberant and sobering, and the BAM screening brings it to Brooklyn after its Lincoln Center premiere. If you care about Glazer or the studio where the Beatles recorded, it's a short, rich detour.
What to expect
A brief evening program in Fort Greene, with the film under 40 minutes. Expect music fans and cinephiles, and plenty of time for dinner or drinks nearby afterward.
