As reported by KINETIC CARNIVAL over the weekend, New York filmmaker, JL Aronson, is asking for your Coney Island home movies. Aronson is working with the Coney Island History Project on a documentary about the Astroland Amusement Park (RIP). They are asking for footage from the 1960’s, 70’s, and 80’s and especially film shot on 8mm and 16mm film. They will also accept pictures taken during those time periods. For more info, you can contact the History Project at info@coneyislandhistory.org or 718-265-2100.

  1. ^ i just only saw that movie in FULL a few months ago. great GREAT movie. is coney island/was coney island still like that? i mean ive been to coney island more times than ive been down the block in park slope and it’s always seemed fine. i hope this summer you can still go to the beach and stuff.

    eta. the best part of the warriors is the scene in the tunnels in the union square subway on rollerskates. WHOA! what i would do to be able to do that. and there were like NO people around! now if you skated in there youd bump into a gazillion and a half eh, i dont want to say without offending most of new new york.
