what this is

New York Nocturne rides through the state's emptied places. Buffalo. Syracuse. Albany. The villages along the old canal, north into the Adirondacks.

Independent filmmakers shoot what remains: silent blocks, full parking lots, county courthouses at noon. Their films run here with permission, whole and unedited.
