Data Docs Film Series
Data Docs: Open Data on Screen is a full-day documentary screening program at DCTV’s Firehouse Cinema in Chinatown (87 Lafayette St). Four films exploring issues New Yorkers care about — street safety, housing, child care, and urban nature — are each paired with NYC Open Data datasets and followed by panel discussions with data experts, City staff, community practitioners, and, where possible, the filmmakers themselves. Between screenings, attendees can visit a data help desk in the lobby staffed by Open Data Week volunteers.
Co-presented by the NYC Office of Data Analytics and DCTV, Data Docs brings together filmmakers, academics, civic technologists, and neighborhood residents around shared data and shared stories.
Screening times are:
Urban Nature (11:00 AM–12:45 PM): Birders: The Central Park Effect
Transportation (1:00–3:26 PM): Citizen Science: Citi Bikes + The Map + Changing Lanes
Universal Child Care (3:45–5:46 PM): Through the Night
Housing & Participation (6:00–8:15 PM): Emergent City
Ticket prices are $10, or $30 for a day pass to all 4 screenings. Get tickets and learn more here.
