NYC Weights and Measures is filmmaker Jem Cohen's observational portrait of New York City, a document of Cohen's wanderlust as he passes through a ticker-tape parade, by street buskers, and into subways. Like his experimental documentary collaborations with musicians like Instrument — about D.C. punk band Fugazi, NYC Weights and Measures brings Cohen's DIY punk aesthetic to this loving chronicle of a thriving city.
