High Line TV Viewing

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30: JOIN FHL FOR A SCREENING OF HIGH LINE TV SHOW
Please join FHL to view a one-hour TV program about the High Line. The program is part of the "Jane's New York" series on WNBC TV Channel 4 (broadcasting in the New York metropolitan area)—and it's the first program to focus so comprehensively on the High Line, its history, its future, and many of the individuals who've dedicated themselves to the High Line project. The program includes spectacular new footage of the High Line's elevated rail bed and interviews with individuals actively involved with the project, such as photographer Joel Sternfeld; actor/FHL boardmember Edward Norton; New York City Council Speaker Gifford Miller; design team leads James Corner and Elizabeth Diller; FHL co-founders Joshua David and Robert Hammond; and many others. Special thanks to CSX Transportation for permitting Jane's New York to film on the High Line; and to Pyburn Films, the producers of Jane's New York, for creating such a great program.

As part of FHL's Track Heads series of informal get-togethers, we will gather at Freight, a bar and restaurant in the Chelsea Market building, to view the program on large-screen TV. Alternately, you can view the program at home at the same time.

High Line on "Jane's New York",

Join FHL to view program at Freight
