This book examines the cinematic representation of New York from
the mid-1960s through the mid-1980s It places the dominant
discourse of urban decline in dialogue with marginal perspectives
that reimagine the city along alternative paths as a resilient,
adaptive, and endlessly inspiring place The book draws on
mainstream, independent, documentary, and experimental films It
offers a multifaceted account of the power of film to imagine the
city's decline and reimagine its potential The book analyzes how
filmmakers mobilized derelict space and various articulations of
"nature" as settings and signifiers that decenter traditional
understandings of the city to represent New York alternately as a
wasteland, a wilderness, a playground, a home, an art space, and an
ecosystem This book will be of great interest to scholars and
students of film studies, media studies, urban cinema, eco-cinema,
and architectural theory
