A visual history of one hundred years of filmmaking in New York City, written by film critic and historian Jason Bailey with a foreword by Matt Zoller Seitz. Published by Abrams, the book examines ten iconic films across ten decades — from The Jazz Singer (1927) to Frances Ha (2012) — each chosen as a lens through which to trace the city's rise, fall, and resurrection.

Drawing on exclusive interviews with NYC filmmakers, Bailey shows how these works function as accidental documentaries of the city's modes and moods, capturing grittiness and splendor in equal measure.
