Elevations is an animated documentary about the development of the High Line in New York. It is based on the chronological story of the elevated freight railway that ran in Far West Chelsea, between 10th and 11th Ave in Manhattan. The goal of the animation is to inspire an interest in the forgotten past of a community space currently in major development by using evocative imagery borrowed from archival photographs of the time.
