NYC 2000s

Series Site

Take a look back at the Big Apple through the aughts—a city reeling from 9/11 and coping with realities of a recession, a housing crisis, and a changing climate. But also a resilient hive of culture and innovation, excitedly buzzing toward a future of limitless technology, unprecedented globalization, and increased security. These films collect the work of NYC filmmakers who captured a changing mega-metropolis on film, digital, and videotape. With towering hits like The Devil Wears Prada and Vanilla Sky alongside celebrated indies like Ramin Bahrani’s Man Push Cart and Peter Hodge’s Pieces of April, just like Gotham itself, there’s a little something for everyone in this energizing cinematic survey.
