Why Tribeca Film Institute Is Doing Screenings In Prison
The Community Screening Series helps prisoners connect to each other, the world outside, and new educational opportunities.
The poster on the wall was a kind of marquee. "TRIBECA FILM INSTITUTE COMMUNITY SCREENING SERIES — '3 ½ MINUTES, 10 BULLETS' — FEBRUARY 17TH, 2016." But the venue was very different from the usual fare of Tribeca, best known for its glamorous annual film festival in New York, founded by Robert De Niro. Tonight's screening was in Otisville Correctional Facility, a medium-security state prison about 60 miles northwest of Manhattan. The audience was a roomful of prisoners in muted green and maroon clothing, several of whom were serving out life sentences.
