Another art first for Grenada, the prestigious Brooklyn Museum in New York will showcase the work of Billy Gerard Frank in a special screening on 1 February.<\/p>\n

Frank\u2019s film Second Eulogy: Mind the Gap, was created for the Grenada Pavilion at the Biennale di Venezia from May to November of 2019. Tens of thousands of people from all over the world were exposed to the finest contemporary art, and our artists have now begun to reap the reward.<\/p>\n

The sheer beauty of Grenada is one of the stars of the show, with one of the settings being The Tower of St Paul\u2019s.\u00a0 The fishermen of Gouyave played their part, and actors from the theatre company of Francis Urias Peters filled out the cast. Peters himself left the director\u2019s chair and played a major role, along with Jonty.<\/p>\n

In the fictional film, Frank referenced his own upbringing and its challenges. It was well received, and is now set to receive critical acclaim from a United States audience. The auditorium at the Brooklyn Museum seats over 300 and a packed house is expected.<\/p>\n
