5 Things: Presidents Day Weekend Edition

1. Break into the business of show. Tonight the Brooklyn Young Filmmakers Center is presenting a salon series on film careers. Sit in on a screening of a low- or no-budget short film, followed by a detailed analysis of its production history. Film professionals and emerging filmmakers will also share their careerpaths with budding visionaries. Plus, there's time to network. 143 Waverly Ave., 6:30 p.m., $5. 

2. Get a hobby. The Brooklyn Lacrosse Club will kick off the Spring 2013 Season with three free indoor clinics in February at the P.S. 10 Gym in Brooklyn, beginning this Saturday. Boys and girls from pre-K through 8th grade are invited, and beginners are most definitely welcome. 511 7th Ave., 10 a.m., Free. 

3. Rock and rollerskate. SRB in Gowanus is hosting a "Down and Derby" retro rollerskating party this weekend with DJs to spare. Recommended dress code includes: tube socks, neon tank tops, headbands, 'fros and flattops—basically anything sold at American Apparel. 177 2nd Avenue, 9 p.m., $6 RSVP; $5 skate rental or bring your own. 

4. Head to the park. Prospect Park and all its offerings are open over the long weekend, and if the weather remains sunny, why not check out all there is to do and see. On Monday and Tuesday from 1-3 p.m., the Audubon Nature Center is hosting "Winter in the Wild," where staff will discuss the winter survival strategies of animals that live in the Park. Lefferts Historic House will also be open those days from 12-4 p.m., and you can always head to the Prospect Park Zoo, which will be open from 10 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

5. Move your car. Alternate side parking is in effect today. The next suspension will be this Monday, Feb. 18 in observance of Presidents Day.
