NEW YORK - YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACT LIKE A PIRATE TO BE A MAN OF THE SAILS

On a hot summer day in a parking lot across the street from one of the country's last working steel mills, hobo filmmaker Bill Daniel (you can read our interview with him in the Talking Issue--it'll be up here soon) chugged some warm, uh, "sparkling wine," hopped into his troublemaker of a SVO-run van, and ripped ass to Canada to begin a 6,000-mile tour around the country. He screens his pre-apocalyptic films about weirdos anchored in shantyboats for life on the sea, for instance, on sails windlassed to the top of his van. At least he doesn't smell like a pirate. He's coming to Williamsburg's Grand Street Park (at Grand right on the river) this Sunday, October 12, at 8 PM for an outdoor screening of his latest, Sunset Scavenger. Legends is playing too; donations benefit Bill Daniel and his lady pals at Transformazium, a collective of artists, burgeoning farmers, and social reformers who moved to Braddock, Pennsylvania, as a long-term life experiment.
