BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOODS screening + Q&A with director Seth Fein

Join us at the Paul and Eslanda Robeson Cinema at The People’s Forum, created in the spirit of their love of art, film, and revolution.

Mamdani and Trump both love Robert Moses's Unisphere. As mayor-elect, Mamdani held his first news conference in front of the giant stainless-steel globe that Moses built in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park for the last New York World's Fair. And the current president plagiarized it in both Midtown Manhattan and in Atlantic City. What can that convergence tell us? Join Seth Fein on Unisphere's 62nd birthday to view and discuss the 2024 reboot of his award-winning documentary essay –– BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOODS (110') –– which works in split-screen between original and archival footage to contemplate the present and past of immigration and imperialism, social and corporate globalization, that orbit the Unisphere across liberal and neoliberal regimes, between the racist authoritarianism of Moses –– who erected the mammoth globular monument to his own imperial rule at the center of his metropolitan empire –– and that of Trump, who seeks to brand the world itself.
