By Marlow Stern It’s a good time to be Spike Lee . The illustrious New York filmmaker behind cinema classics like “Do the Right Thing,” “Malcolm X” and “25th Hour” is still basking in the glow of his beloved Knicks’ fairy-tale run to their first NBA title in 53 years — a result that he boldly predicted in a New York Times op-ed .

He’s also hosting Playback: The Brooklyn Watch Party , a new two-day festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music featuring film screenings, pop-up activations and a free street fair. The fest will kick off on Nov.
