Scenes from the City: Filmmaking in New York. Revised and Expanded

From the cinema verite of the sixties to softer fare like Splash, New York has provided some of the most iconic moments on film. Beginning with a survey of such classics as ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’, this book captures how the changing face of New York, as well as the founding of the MOFTB, have contributed to a particular school of film characterized most emphatically in the street-style work of directors as diverse as Martin Scorsese and Spike Lee.
