A couple weeks ago we expressed our excitement about the new Bronx Documentary Center (which is set to officially open on October 22), but we'd also like to highlight another great documentary center right here in Brooklyn: UnionDocs.

Founded in 2002, UnionDocs is a multifaceted endeavor, encompassing film screenings, seminars and workshops, online publishing, collaborative projects and more. The center has produced events at MoMA and the Camden International Film Festival and partnered with Harvard University's metaLAB and the World Wildlife Foundation. It also hosts over 100 events each year and offers fellowships for emerging media producers, theorists and curators, giving them the resources to explore and develop their work.

UnionDocs just secured a new 10-year lease for its space at 322 Union Avenue in Williamsburg and raising funds on Kickstarter to upgrade the building to meet their growing needs. They're almost half way to their goal of $12,000, with a deadline of October 16, so help out if you can! Your donation could get you everything from an invitation to a private party celebrating the center's renovations to an Associate Producer credit on Looking at Los Sures, a major collaborative production that revisits Los Sures, a 1984 documentary film about the center's South Williamsburg neighborhood.

Check out a few of UnionDocs' upcoming events along with the video for their Kickstarter campaign after the jump.
