If you haven’t seen Lavender Lake, the documentary about the Gowanus Canal, there’s an opportunity coming up on Sunday at the Gowanus Studio Space. Here are the details:

This Sunday, September 14th, as gossip flies about the Gowanus Canal’s development, retail, and dredging, The Gowanus Studio Space sheds light on this watershed with a screening of Lavender Lake, a 1998 documentary about New York City’s dirtiest and most beloved waterway. Filmmaker Allison Prete will be here with Marlene Donnelly – a founding member of Friends and Residents of Greater Gowanus – to answer questions after the film!

The screening is at 7PM and the Q&A is at 8PM. There’s a $5 suggested donation. The Gowanus Studio Space is located at 119 8th Street, #202. Take the F or G to Smith-9th St. or the F, M or R to Fourth Ave./9th Street.
