NYC Chinatown 1986 original footage.mpg

Uploaded by RailroadPacific on Apr 1, 2011
In 1986 I visited the evening market in Chinatown in New York City for the first time. I filmed with a big ARRIflex ST 16mm camera with a 120m magazine with 7250 Kodak 16mm color reversal Tungsten 400 ASA film and a Schneider Cine Xenon 1:2/16mm lens . This equipment is good for 10 Minutes recording duration at 25 f/sec. The stereo sound is recorded with a SONY WM-D6C with two Sennheiser mics in stereo.
Thank you to Judy for telecine & color correction and Marion for the original sound recording.

Such a great video. Bring back memories. By the way, I also have been in New York in 1986 for a short trip:-). Thanks a lot for sharing

triads were prominent back then

@dvdfath That's because back in the those days, Asian gangs roams the street & every parents including mine wouldn't allow me to roam the streets in Chinatown. Of course at the time of this footage was taken, I was only 7 yrs. old. The generation nowadays don't have to deal what I did and can roam around freely without having to dodge bullets.

Does anyone know how large Chinatown was during the 80s? What streets were the borderlines of Chinatown back then? I was born in the late 80s so I don't really know too much about it. But from what I heard, Bowery and Hester Streets were the borderlines of Chinatown back then and beyond those streets there were Chinese but mixed neighborhood. Was East Broadway and Division Streets even part of Chinatown before the Fuzhou influx? I am just wondering.

This the Chinatown that I like. When it was not all commercialized and gentrified. It was actually a place where Chinese can settle. Now, it is not even a place where Chinese people can settle anymore. It is too commercialized and too expensive and now the culture is being destroyed. It really is not the same anymore.
