Red Lanterns

 

Back

Disney transformed Chinatown for Jerry Bruckheimer's summer 2010 family pic "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", starring Nicholas Cage. 
For more a serious note, see director Zhang Yimou's sumptous drama "Raise the Red Lantern" (1991) with Gong Li.

 



 

 





 


 



The second annual Lunar New Year lantern installation in Sara D. Roosevelt Park during February 2009.
Lanterns were created by over 250 students from M.S. 131, the Chinatown YMCA, and Asian Americans for Equality
as part of Hester Street Collaborative's Ground Up program.
The installation were on view in the Hester Street Playground between Grand and Hester Streets along along the Forsyth and Chrystie Street walkways.
