    Up Close Film Veteran Jonathan Wacks Leads New Barry R. Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema At the Forefront of Urban Sustainability The Power of Philanthropy to Change Lives Founding director Jonathan Wacks stands in the raw space that will become the Barry R. Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema at Steiner Studios. Up CLOSE The man behind 21 Jump Street and Repo Man takes the helm as director of Brooklyn College’s Barry R. Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema—the first public graduate school in the country to be housed on a working film lot. by Ikimulisa Livingston More than a century ago, Brooklyn was home to a nascent, but growing, film industry, just blocks from today’s Brooklyn College campus. At its center, the American Vitagraph Company, the biggest studio in Mthe country, was prolific in its output. Then moviemaking moved west to Hollywood, taking with it what would grow to be a multibillion-dollar industry. Today a new, groundbreaking project for Brooklyn College is set to play a significant role in furthering the revitalization of the borough’s filmmaking industry: the Barry R. Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema at Steiner Studios. It will be the only school of cinema in the country operating on the grounds of a working movie lot; and not just any movie lot, but the largest film and television production complex outside of Hollywood. Opening in the fall of 2015, the Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema is becoming a reality thanks to the support of notable Brooklyn College alumni, the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, the New York City Council, the Brooklyn Borough President, and the City University of New York.

  • Film in Broklyn
    d Brooklyn Takes Over Prime Time In the last decade New York City has seen a boom in its film production. Recently Brooklyn has become more popular with production studios and become the backdrop for popular shows such as "Girls", "Blue Bloods", and "Gotham." While all five boroughs are utilized for filming, Manhattan and Brooklyn are the most popular (Dunne, 2015). One of the major factors behind this influx of filming in Brooklyn and all over NYC, is the generous financial incentives offered by New York State. However, this has led to constant filmmaking, especially in Brooklyn, where it has become a nuisance to its citizens. With the film industry generating $7 billion in revenue for NYC as of 2015, filmmaking will only get more predominant throughout New York and Brooklyn. (“Office History,” n.d.). "MANHATTAN HAS ALWAYS TOLD THE STORY OF ASPIRATIONS AND WEALTH. NOW BROOKLYN IS TELLING THE STORY OF A REALLY UPWARDLY MOBILE PERSON" (THE NEW YORK TIMES) Figure 1: Filmed in NYC. This image showcases the most popular areas for filming in NYC. With Green point and Williamsburg, Brooklyn being some of the most utilized. Tax Incentives New York is commonly used to film television shows and movies due to “OF THE $420 MILLION, THERE IS the tax incentives provided by the State. These incentives are offered throughout Pre-Production, Production, and Post-Production, as well as, A SET-ASIDE FOR THE POST- for employing local residents as film and production crew (“New York PRODUCTION CREDIT THAT WILL BE State Film Tax Credit Program,” n.d.).

  • [Desire for Diversity and Difference in Gentrified Brooklyn] Dialogue Between a Planner and a Sociologist
    Sandra Annunziata, Lidia K.C. Manzo [Desire for Diversity and Difference in Gentrified Brooklyn] Dialogue between a planner and a sociologist Abstract:This paper combines two ethnographic experiences conducted in two Brooklyn neighborhoods, with the aim to understand the gentrification process: its plural and multidimensional character and the contextual variables. However, coming from different paradigms they are less interested in doing a comparison of their case studies than presenting how different perspectives see and problematize gentrification and urban change in the face of diversity. In this light, the paper discusses the authors’ first-hand experiences and results from the field research as in a sort of dialogue with the academic reader. Reflection on how do they see and problematize gentrification and diversity, the social effects of displacement and the role of planning conclude the paper. Keywords:Gentrification, Urban Desire, Diversity, Brooklyn, Park Slope, Fort Greene. Introduction This paper combines two ethnographic experiences independently conducted by the authors in two Brooklyn neighborhoods1. The overall goal of their work was to understand the process of gentrification: its plural and multidimensional character and the contextual variables of its process (Malutas 2011; Lees et al 2008). However, coming from different paradigms and carrying with them their backgrounds in planning and sociology, they are less interested in doing a comparison of their studies (already published as Annunziata 2009 and Manzo 2012) than presenting how different perspectives see and problematize gentrification and urban change. In this light, the paper discusses the authors’ first-hand experiences and results from the field research as in a sort of dialogue with the academic reader.
