When thinking about the city we most times love, some times hate, everyone has a different story to tell. Come for films that find our communities in unexpected moments—whether it’s through pick-pocketing locals, a textual bond between neighbors, or a candy-colored haven for artists. Fact or fiction, these films brilliantly capture the ever-evolving ecosystem that is New York.
