The exhibition “Hoboken People & Places, 1976-1994” showcases the city during a period of dramatic change seen through lens of photographer Michael Flanagan. At the same time, several films were being produced here. We invite you to join us at the Hoboken Historical Museum, for a month-long film series showcasing films and documentaries produced right in our backyard.

In late 1980s, a battle raged between longtime residents of Hoboken’s and the developers who sought to convert their inexpensive housing into high-priced rental and condominium units. Filmmaker Nora Jacobson spent nearly a decade investigating the issue for her critically acclaimed documentary, “Delivered Vacant,” released in 1992. She focuses her lens on the city’s pro-affordable housing mayor, Tom Vezzetti, and a cast of locals ranging from elderly and immigrant residents being forced from their homes to aspiring artists who rely on the area’s cheap rents. Recommended for adult audiences.
