JIFF: Last Stop Coney Island: The Life and Photogr

Australian Premiere

“When your mouth drops open, hit the shutter” - H?arold Feinstein

Nobody loved New York as much as Harold Feinstein, as evidenced through his extraordinary portraits of ordinary New Yorkers. Working in lush black-and-white 35mm film, Feinstein, a stellar yet under-recognised photographer born to immigrant Jewsh parents, captures the beauty, joy and diversity of NYC’s greatest treasure, its people. With an emphasis on New Yorkers at play in his native Coney Island, Feinstein treats us to a visual love letter to the Big Apple through his gorgeous photography.
