On Monday, April 30, Breaking Out and Breaking In—our three-month distributed film fest of prison breaks and bank heists, co-sponsored by Filmmaker Magazine and BLDGBLOG—came to an end with a bang. Studio-X NYC hosted a panel discussion, moderated by its director and the man behind BLDGBLG Geoff Manaugh, and open public forum exploring ideas presented by the films, with a focus on the spatial scenarios of real-world crimes.
We assembled a unique and distinguished panel for the evening to discuss both real and fictional break outs and heists, from bank tunnels and art forgeries to Manhattan panic rooms: FBI Special Agent Brenda Cotton, Bank Robbery Coordinator for the Bureau's Bank Robbery/Kidnapping/Extortion Squad; Retired FBI Special Agent Thomas McShane, former undercover agent with the Bureau's Art Crime Team and author of Stolen Masterpiece Tracker; Scott Macauley, editor-in-chief of Filmmaker Magazine; Matt Jones, designer and principal of BERG; and Jimmy Stamp, writer and editor at the Yale University School of Architecture, and co-organizer of Yale's 2011 "Fugitive Geographies" conference, exploring the architecture of the getaway, the hideout, and the cover-up.
