Brave New York/ Sway

Be it a macro examination of cultural evolution or an intimate chronicle of the small moments that make up the whole, this double feature of free-form documentaries from filmmaker Richard Sandler presents a dead-on view of New York City. BRAVE NEW YORK documents from the inside out the transmogrification of the East Village throughout the early 1990s, the dotcom era, and into the years post 9/11. SWAY is a musical documentary that compiles over a decade's worth of subway moments caught on video and edits them down to a compact 32 minutes--the reported average length of a single MTA ride.
