New York Then and Now
Experimental
1st Prize Narrative • 2022
26 min
New Milford, NJ, US
We time-travel through New York from the 1980s to the present and back again, with intermediate stops along the way. The film brings us back to the housing abandonment and subway graffiti of the 1980s and brings us forward to the pandemic of 2020 and 2021. We see a pre-pandemic Manhattan that is thriving and prosperous for some as we witness an ever-changing city - with jarring transitions and unflinching portraits of marginalized people and neighborhoods.
