Brady Corbet's video essay on Hudson Yards for Fondazione Prada
American filmmaker Brady Corbet (born 1988) has created the third video in Fondazione Prada's Finite Rants series, curated by Luigi Alberto Cippini and Niccolò Gravina. The Milan-based institution commissioned eight visual essays from filmmakers, artists, intellectuals, and scholars, released monthly on its digital platforms. Corbet, known for critically acclaimed films Vox Lux (2018) and The Childhood of a Leader (2015), both presented at the Venice Film Festival, has also acted for directors like Lars von Trier, Michael Haneke, and Noah Baumbach. His contribution, Untitled (Hudson Yards), is a 7-minute visual essay that examines the hidden aspects of the controversial Hudson Yards urban development plan in Manhattan's Far West Side, revealing how the most expensive real estate project in American history relies on a financing program intended for low-income urban areas.
