Press release from the Southbury Public Library:

1/16/2024

On Friday, February 9, 2024 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom and streamed to the Kingsley Room, join us for a virtual program and explore New York City through film.

For more than 125 years, filmmakers have been drawn to the dynamic vitality of New York City. Its dramatic architecture, its diverse neighborhoods and populations, its universally recognized landmarks, its 24/7 lifestyle, and its 8 million stories have helped make the city a featured player in more than 17,000 movies. Join us as we explore the changing ways New York has been captured on film, and why it still remains a star attraction today.

Brian Rose is a professor emeritus at Fordham University. He’s written several books on television history and cultural programming, and conducted more than a hundred Q&A’s with leading directors, actors, and writers for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the Screen Actors Guild, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and the Directors Guild of America.
