The ultimate irony: the most high-fidelity medium we had back then required a physical key and a prayer to survive the vault. We’ve traded the risk of decay for the risk of a corrupted cloud save.

Absolutely incredible movie. One of my favorites of the year.

So do I!

Can’t wait to see this

When

That’s too cool 😎

This movie looks absolutely amazing! To be a fly on the wall at Duke Ellington’s party? Yes, please! 🎶📖🍾🎉

Thank you, Mayor Mamdani !!!

AFRICAN! 🦁

Mayor, You are a good man and a good mayor.

Alas, may such gatherings be to Spain a model of cultural grace? Pray tell, how might a sovereign's patron be honoured in such humble endeavours?

Wow — that’s so great. It will be playing in my area across the country and I can’t wait to see it

This is a truly wondeful film. Nice gift there Mr Mayor!!

Next up: Do "The Other Boys of Summer."

I wish I lived in NYC. I MUST see this film.

NYC is not scary. It’s expensive but it’s not scary. Great food, cool stuff to see. My “I hate cities” husband actually said he could understand why people would live there.

Not a fan of crowds/people. I get claustrophobic. Not knowing the people freaks me out badly. As I get older it gets more intense. I am sure your city is lovely. I should have been more clear about my fear. 🙏🏼

I lurve you.

Makes my heart swell to see films like this being offered to everyone in NY for free. 💓

Thank you, Mayor Mamdani!

Indispensable, make it a double bill with A Great Day in Harlem. www.imdb.com/title/tt0109...

great movie

You're a good man

Bringer of Joy!

You're all right, Mayor!

Would have been nice to have a way people could view virtually…not too late.

love this

Wow! What a find and will be such a treat for many Mayor Mamdani. Amazing find by David Greaves and just wonderful the 16mm film by his father of Duke Ellington in 1972 is being shown. Classic.

One of the greatest art, music, literature periods in New York history.

👍

oh yes! American songbook as I think of it is a lot Duke.

💯⚡

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing.

You're what we needed, when we needed it. New York has a mayor who love us!! Can we clone you though 😏 👀 🤔

💕💕

Yes 🙏! My 90 year old dad in the UK would love to see it.

This is so cool. You’re keeping me and many others believing in the possibility of a functioning government.

When will it stream nation-wide? Or be out on Blu-Ray? I want a copy!!

James Van Der Zee captured extraordinary b & w pics back in the day.
