I previously posted on a Manhattan screening of the documentary "Brooklyn Matters," prompting Michael Bouldin to comment on the obvious irony of the venue for the event. However, I know of two people who went and were greatly impressed both by the film and by the discussion afterwards.

The next chance to see this film is at the Municipal Arts Society. Here are the details:

Thursday, January 18, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Focusing on the planned Atlantic Yards development in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, this spirited documentary film reviews how the project gained approval, its potential impact on Brooklyn, and the politics surrounding one of the largest development proposals in the city’s history. The documentary — featuring candid interviews, strong opinions and lively characters — is an insightful and sometimes startling view of how land-use decisions are made. A discussion will follow.

Seating is limited and reservations are recommended. RSVP to rsvp@mas.org or 212-935-2075.
