Welcome to OVID’s “Author Selects” series, where we invite an author to select a film on OVID and explain why they think you should watch it.

In our second installment, we welcome writer Jason Bailey to discuss Manfred Kirchheimer’s 1984 documentary Stations of the Elevated. Jason is the author of Fun City Cinema, which takes a look at a century of New York City films, from The Jazz Singer to Frances Ha.

Jason Bailey is contributing editor-at-large at Flavorwire, with bylines at The New York Times, Vulture, VICE, Slate, Rolling Stone, and more.
