My Brooklyn, a film by Kelly Anderson and Allison Lirish Dean


“My Brooklyn” is a film by Kelly Anderson, Professor of Film and Media Studies at Hunter College and former CPCP faculty fellow, and Allison Lirish Dean.

The film chronicles how, over the last decade, city government and corporate interests joined forces to remake Downtown Brooklyn, displacing small businesses and long-time residents. The film focuses on the policies and politics reshaping the Fulton Mall, one of the most successful and most maligned shopping destinations in New York City. The film also investigates the historical roots of this contemporary urban makeover, reaching as far back as far as the Great Depression, and expanding beyond Downtown to examine the origins of change in neighborhoods like Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, and Bed-Stuy.
