Freed from the fetters/influence of studio dollars and cents, the films in this festival display creativity at its purest and most unexpected. Take Colin, an experimental zombie flick shot in Wales for a cool hundred that found itself on the gilded shorelines of Cannes last May; it's just one of the 115 self-financed titles rounded up in Brooklyn venues this week — a motley and international collection of animation, avant-garde curios, documentaries, and bootstrap feature-lengths. Afghanistan is paid particular notice with documentaries Skateistan and Rethink Afghanistan. The former looks at the country's first skateboarding school, while the latter details the nation's current quagmire.
