Empire City
1985 · 1 hr 29 mins
A film essay contrasting the modern metropolis with its "golden age" from 1830-1930, with the participation of some of New York's leading political and cultural figures. Made at a time when the city was experiencing unprecedented real estate development on the one hand and unforeseen displacement of population and deterioration on the other. Empire City is the story of two New Yorks. The film explores the precarious coexistence of the service-based midtown Manhattan corporate headquarters with the peripheral New York of undereducated minorities living in increasing alienation.
Director: Michael Blackwood
Cast: Donald Trump, Ed Koch, Jane Jacobs, Elia Kazan, Norman Mailer
