Hoop Schemes

Also known as the graveyard, Albany’s Washington Park is the site for some pretty fierce pickup basketball games. In their documentary, Ballin’ at the Graveyard, directors Basil Anastassiou and Paul Kentoffio show how the place isn’t just a court but is also a place to call home. It’s where players work out their beefs during intense, sometimes violent arguments. And it’s where racial tensions often run high. The film screens at 7:30 tonight at the Cedar Lee Theatre. Tickets are $9. (Katlin Dangel)
