What a glorious night! ✨🗑️ 🏀

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s CoLAB Preview in the Park and helped celebrate a sneak peek at seven incredible new short documentaries by our Collaborative Studio artists.

Over the past year, this cohort has followed the hidden infrastructures, labor, materials, and waste streams that shape New York City every day, bringing care, curiosity, and creativity to stories that often go unseen.

This project was sparked by our mentor, artist Sto Len (sTo Len), whose discovery of more than 500 hours of archival DSNY footage and his work to bring it all into one film opened up a deep well of inspiration for the group.

Endless gratitude to our returning mentor and filmmaker Farihah Zaman (Farihah Zaman) for bringing wisdom, generosity, and expertise to the process.

🌹 And a huge shoutout to this incredible cohort for coming together and making these amazing films:

Adam Mbowe (Adam Mbowe)

𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗧: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗖𝗨𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗨𝗘

𝗝𝗨𝗡 𝟮𝟲–𝟮𝟴, join filmmaker and media artist 𝗝𝗲𝗮𝗻-𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗱 [ ] for a weekend workshop exploring the documentary travelogue as a speculative, political, and poetic form.

What does it mean to move through a place with a camera — not to capture it, but to listen to it? To drift through landscapes, histories, absences, and afterlives? Drawing from his own practice between fieldwork and reflection, Martinod approaches travel as a process of wandering, attunement, and embracing the unexpected.

Across the weekend, participants will think through how filming shapes the way we travel, how travel structures the way we build films, and what emerges when we relinquish mastery over place and narrative.

Martinod will be joined by incredible guest artists: Argentine film collective 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝘂𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗶𝗻𝗲 [ Antes Mu**to Cine ], 𝗧𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗦𝗶𝗮 [ Tiffany Sia ] and 𝗞𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗸 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵 [ Khalik Article ]!

TONIGHT! Come through for our 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 — a FREE screening at the HANDBALL COURTS opposite UnionDocs 🎾✨

We’re back with our annual PREVIEW IN THE PARK, debuting a new collection of 7 short documentaries made by the talented artists of the UnionDocs Collaborative Studio (CoLAB).

This year’s films emerge from a shared research focus on sanitation, waste streams, discard culture, labor, and the hidden infrastructures that move material through and out of New York City every day.

Rooted on the border of Ridgewood and Bushwick, we’ve become increasingly aware of our proximity to sanitation garages, scrap yards, transfer stations, and industrial routes that are often overlooked but quietly shape the rhythms of the city at large. This collection brings those spaces, systems, and forms of labor into focus.

Together, these films explore sanitation not only as disposal, but as an ongoing civic choreography that reflects our collective values: what gets kept, what gets discarded, who decides, and who labors through these processes.

🚪 Doors at 7:30 PM
🎥 Films begin at sunset (~8:30 PM)
🏀 We’ll be projecting the game after the screening!

TOMORROW, 𝗦𝗔𝗧, 𝗝𝗨𝗡 𝟭𝟯, Come through for our 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 — a FREE screening at the HANDBALL COURTS opposite UnionDocs 🎾✨

We’re back with our annual PREVIEW IN THE PARK, debuting a new collection of 7 short documentaries made by the talented artists of the UnionDocs Collaborative Studio (CoLAB).

This year’s films emerge from a shared research focus on sanitation, waste streams, discard culture, labor, and the hidden infrastructures that move material through and out of New York City every day.

Rooted on the border of Ridgewood and Bushwick, we’ve become increasingly aware of our proximity to sanitation garages, scrap yards, transfer stations, and industrial routes that are often overlooked but quietly shape the rhythms of the city at large. This collection brings those spaces, systems, and forms of labor into focus.

From the workforces official and unofficial, like the 10,000+ New Yorkers who redeem recyclables for 5 cents on the can every day, to New York’s strongest, the city’s sanitation force, to the mussels in Newtown Creek filtering a century’s worth of pollution, these films trace the visible and invisible labor that sustains the city every day.

The collection also explores sites of disposal and exchange: illegal dumping grounds beneath the train tracks, weekly NYPD auction yards for seized vehicles, estate sales overflowing with formerly beloved and now unwanted objects, and the pathways that lead material toward reuse, abandonment, or the infamous garbage truck hopper.

Together, these films explore sanitation not only as disposal, but as an ongoing civic choreography that reflects our collective values: what gets kept, what gets discarded, who decides, who benefits or suffers, and who labors through these processes.

Over 10,000 New Yorkers are full time canners. Returning a bottle or can earns you five cents. For the redemption centers built around that exchange, the math has finally stopped working and many are now facing closure. Through the rhythms of sorting, counting, and returning, 𝘈𝘓𝘓 𝘉𝘖𝘛𝘛𝘓𝘌𝘚 𝘎𝘖 𝘛𝘖 𝘏𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌𝘕 invites you to look again at a bottle or can in a world most never see, and rediscover what it means to New Yorkers.
