The Bungalows of Rockaway: Film Screening at the Museum of the City of New York
The New York City premiere of “The Bungalows of Rockaway,” a documentary that takes a modest subject — the small, affordable bungalows that once covered the Rockaway peninsula — and reveals larger themes of this singular story: working class leisure, public access to the ocean, community, and architectural preservation. A popular summer resort once existed along the Rockaway shore, the traces now found in the remaining bungalows and long boardwalk. Bungalow residents past and present are featured, along with narrator Estelle Parsons, historians, and city officials. Tracking the bungalow lifeline from 1905 to the present, the film incorporates gorgeous archival imagery with recent footage and interviews, to produce an enlightening and entertaining look at unsung chapter of New York history. Q & A with the filmmakers will follow the screening. Reservations required. $
