New York Our Time
Vivienne Dick
Documentary : 79' / Community, Art & Artists, Gentrification

An ethnographic documentary that contrasts the concerns of present day living in New York with the bohemian wildness of the city in the late 70s, reflected through the lives of the community of artists, musicians, and friends of the filmmaker. Stories of the past recall a run down, bankrupt, often dangerous city, where rent was cheap and artistic creativity flourished. While in the NYC of today, glittering mirrored towers reflect a city radically consumed by mass gentrification.
