What Is Free Time About?

The premise of Free Time without spoilers.

This documentary follows 88-year-old Manny Kirchheimer as he revisits New York City between 1958 and 1960 through beautifully restored 16mm black-and-white film. The film captures the energy of urban life, showcasing scenes of children playing, workers maintaining buildings, and residents relaxing in their neighborhoods. Accompanied by a rich soundtrack featuring music from Ravel, Bach, Eisler, and Basie, this nostalgic portrait offers a remarkable glimpse into the city’s vibrant atmosphere and community spirit, from Washington Heights to Hell's Kitchen.
