Coney Island (8 min)
"Made by two teen filmmakers in the early 1970s, Coney Island is an ode to Coney Island's appeal and history as an urban summer refuge begins onboard a crowded F subway train. The fishing pier, the beach and Astroland arcade and amusement park rides, including the famous Cyclone rollercoaster, are explored to the accompaniment of a lively jazz soundtrack, sounds of summer and insights from locals and lovers of Coney Island. Historical photographs are used to illustrate remembrances of Coney Island's exuberant past."—NYPL
