“New York On Location” Street Fair

Museum of the Moving Image, Theatrical Teamsters Local 817, I.A.T.S.E. Local 52, and Kaufman Astoria Studios will present New York on Location, a FREE family-friendly outdoor event that offers a behind-the-scenes look at film and TV production in New York. New York on Location invites the public to go inside eighteen working movie trailers and trucks — straight from productions shooting in New York — and speak directly with movie professionals about what they do on set.

Among the highlights will be:

Makeup artists and hair stylists demonstrating applications for everything from “glamor looks” to cuts and bruises.
Weather effects, including rain and snow created by special-effects craftspeople.
A camera car, a rigged vehicle that supports the filming of scenes set in cars.
A star dressing room and honeywagons, a.k.a. Lucy and Desi washrooms.
Food available for purchase from food trucks and Mon Amour, serving in the Museum café and courtyard.
