“Long before indie became the trademark of a festival in Utah, a revolution in cinema occurred on several fronts in New York. Shot on location, often on meager budgets, these films tapped into the city’s cultural and social energies: its streets, its people, its artistic fervor. One of the great pleasures and insights of Film Forum’s smorgasbord is seeing sensibilities influencing one another.”
– Nic Rapold, The New York Times

"Spanning the mayoralties of Vincent Impellitteri and John Lindsay, the program not only reveals the vast number of cinema movements bubbling up during this 20-year stretch—whether in documentary, fiction, or a hybrid of the two—but also highlights a new kind of "star": the junkies, freaks, drunks, hustlers, queers, drag queens, and insurrectionists of all colors and professions indigenous to no other metropolis but ours."
– Melissa Anderson, The Village Voice
