Show WedThursFrl, January 15-17, 2003 The Park Record C-3 o o Irvf By NAN CHALAT-NOAKER Record editor . Thirty-five i years ago, Dan Klores and his cohorts would drive Brobklyn cops crazy by repeatedly cutting a hole in the fence around the 2nd Street Park. The slice in the chain link fence served as a shortcut to the center of their universe, uni-verse, the local basketball court. But when Klores invited his old pals back to help cut the fence in 2001, he made sure to apply for the appropriate city permit .. . r "That shows we're getting old," Klores said with a chuckle during a telephone interview earlier this week. Klores and Ron Berger's tender documentary, "The Boys of Second Street Park" was selected as one of 11 films to be shown in this year's Sundance Film Festival American Showcase category. r Showtime has already made a commitment to' air the film later this year, but according to Klores it was still gratifying to have the film accepted by Sundance. "It was a good feeling to know it was accepted, there was a sense of acknowledgement." , The film chronicles the lives of six main characters distilled from a year's worth of tracking down old cronies and conducting extensive interviews around the country. Klores spent three months during dur-ing the summer of 2001 following leads, talking to old friends who had kept in touch with others, collecting col-lecting stories about what had happened to teammates, most of whom had not seen each other for over 25 years. From the stories he gathered, Klores selected the most compelling. com-pelling. "They were so bittersweet, so tragic." Though Klores was one of the 2nd Street boys, he says he made a o o "Bonhoeffer," a full-length documentary about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Pastor, pacifist and Nazi resister, will be featured at three churches in Park City. The Shepherd of the Mountains Church will present the film Jan. 19 at 7 p.m. The Park City Community Church will show the documentary Jan. 20 and 21 at 7 p.m. St. Mary's Catholic Church in Old Town will join in screening the film Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. For tickets, which are $10, call 649-8131. fo r the we ARIES (March 21 - April 19) ; This is "your week to search for the , -truth.

"I think it is an act of vanity to be in your own film," he said. Nevertheless, his subjects were all once friends of his and at times, he admits, it was tough to distance himself emotionally. "There were deaths of children, the death of best friends, the dissolution dis-solution of marriages," he said, adding that he deliberately included includ-ed one of his funnier friends to relieve some of the sadder tales with a little humor. Even the collaboration with codirector Ron Berger, is an outgrowth out-growth of the 2nd Street Park gang.

After a summer of interviews Klores arranged the reunion that opens and closes the film. The "boys" return, balding and somewhat some-what battered by their experiences but according to Klores once they took to the court, they felt 15 again. When asked what his story of the last 30 years would be if he had been in the film, Klores said, "1 would say I'm lucky to be alive. I count my blessings. Like some of those he interviewed Klores says, "I had a significant signifi-cant issue with drugs, 1 was divorced..." These days, however, you might say that Klores is at the top of his old game. He is remarried with two young children chil-dren and one on the way. He has a film at Sundance and he has an idea for another that he hopes to peddle at the festival. As to advice for other documentary docu-mentary film makers he says, "Dont let anyone tell you no."
