“For one night only, Chinatown Basketball Club and Metrograph present a night of never-before-screened films and conversation at the intersection of basketball, art and Chinatown. These intimate portrayals of CBC characters and moods, by artists that are part of the group, will introduce audiences to a uniquely New York pick-up basketball and art community. Featuring Lu Zhang’s documentary See You At The Park: Notes on Smiley (篮球而已), which follows Smiley He, a Columbus Park mainstay and guardian, over a typical day; Jason Duval’s 16mm short A Few Minutes with the Chinatown Basketball Club, which zooms in on sublime plays of light and shadow, overlooked details, and architectural surroundings; and The Story of CBC: Autumn Classic 2023, Connor Sen Warnick’s documentary recounting CBC’s history, leading up to the inaugural Autumn Classic 3x3 Tournament.” —Chinatown Basketball Club
