Much talked about, but seldom seen, “Indiana Jones: the Adaptation” makes its New York debut as part of the Brooklyn Underground Film Festival this weekend. Filmmaker Chris Strompolos and his friends recreated, shot for shot, the blockbuster movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark” over the course of their adolescence and into adulthood. Also on the bill, New York Press film critic Matt Zoller Seitz’s made-in-Brooklyn independent feature “Home.”
