A look at NYC’s gentrification and growing inequality in a microcosm, Class Divide explores two distinct worlds that share the same Chelsea intersection – 10th Avenue and 26th Street. On one side of the avenue, the Chelsea-Elliot Houses have provided low-income public housing to residents for decades. Their neighbor across the avenue since 2012 is Avenues: The World School, a costly private school. What happens when kids from both of these worlds attempt to cross the divide?

Class Divide

A retrospective, auto-reflexive film essay on the victims of the filmmaker, their subjects taken under duress. Images wrestling with their own contradictions, doubting the validity of their amalgam. What does 'reconciliation' mean when linked with reproductions? It's all bullshit; a beautiful, affecting bullshit. Nothing has a nicer smell. I cannot help but feel as though I have no place here. Reappropriations of appropriations, lending nothing to recourse except, maybe, unveiling a bit of the violence through translucent positionality. After all, the camera and the gun so often are linked.
