Vibrant and rebuilding itself, Brooklyn faces a new challenge
- an uncommon development, designed by world famous architect
Frank Gehry spanning 7 city blocks and taller than the Williamsburg
Savings Bank tower.
Brooklyn
Matters (2006) – a 50-minute documentary
produced and directed by Isabel
Hill on the Atlantic Yards project.
"A remarkable film that slowly, quietly, calmly reveals the
extreme ugliness at the heart of one of the most ill-conceived
mega-development schemes in New York history."
-- Francis Morrone, Architectural Historian
"A powerful documentary by a well-respected filmmaker, Brooklyn
Matters is a must see for all New Yorkers who care about the future
of their neighborhoods and the role that public policy and process
plays in determining that future."
-- Marilyn Gelber, Former Commissioner, New York City Department
of Environmental Protection
