New York Our Time

About This Movie

New York Our Time is this fascinating dive into a vibrant community at a pivotal moment in the city’s evolution. It weaves together voices from different eras and perspectives, like Nan Goldin’s poignant photography and Lydia Lunch’s raw performances, creating this layered tapestry of experiences. The film doesn’t rush; it lets you linger on each moment, taking in the atmospheric pulse of New York. There’s a lot here about time and memory, which might resonate differently with each viewer. The distinctiveness lies in its organic, almost documentary style that captures the essence of the city's soul through its characters and their stories.

New York Our Time has a unique charm that attracts collectors, especially those interested in ethnographic cinema and urban studies. While it hasn’t had extensive theatrical runs, it has gained interest in niche circles, making it a bit harder to find in certain formats. The rarity of its screenings and the eclectic mix of interviewees contribute to its appeal for collectors who appreciate films that document cultural histories and personal narratives.
