Randall's Island, NYC: A Video Snapshot

New York City is surrounded by islands, and Randall's Island is one the most intriguing. This short documentary style film is one New York City is surrounded by islands, and Randall's Island is one the most intriguing. This short documentary style film is one part landscape meditation, one part informational video and one part Brechtian didactic cinema. With breathgiving scenes of nature in a heavily urbanized area, a few interviews and music by Antibalas, Joanne Shenandoah, Kuatli Vazquez, Aretha Franklin, Carioca and Bob Marley, the film explores issues of privatization of public space. Particularly meant to draw attention to the scheme to develop a private beach club and suburban themed "waterpark" on existing public ballfields and protected wetlands this is a hard-hitting and visually rewarding film for everyone interested in beauty, art and protecting the green spaces in our own neighborhoods that together make up our planet.
Altogether the film, posted in two parts, is under 15 minutes.
