Brave New York / Sway

Two intriguing short profiles of New York City filmed by documentarian Richard Sandler make up this exciting double bill. First, "Brave New York" surveys the evolution of the East Village, from "Wigstock" in 1992 to the post-9/11 era. Next, "Sway" takes a kaleidoscopic view of experiences on the city's subways, compiled from 14 years of shooting. 54 min. total. Soundtrack: English; bonus short "Subway to the East Village."
