Not New York – Sun, June 8, 2:00PM
Cities in the Commonwealth countries (and other surprising locales) are often disguised as what native New Yorkers lovingly refer to as "the Big Apple" —some more convincingly than others.
Ever since it became cheaper to shoot in Toronto or St. Louis than in Gotham, the city has been a character cast by the location manager. Sometimes every effort is made to make it convincing; other times, this factor is completely neglected, as with the Vancouver SkyTrain in Jason Takes Manhattan and the Melbourne Police’s checkered squad cars in Knowing. When it comes to ersatz Gothams, artistic license is the name of the game: Kubrick built a set resembling the West Village in Buckinghamshire, and Todd Haynes created something resembling 1950s Herald Square in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati.
In this eye-popping multimedia lecture, Cosmo Bjorkenheim exposes this rampant fraud and asks, “What exactly is so New York about New York?”
Program runtime approx 70 min.
